I'm looking to get some clarification around the documentation for the duration of sticky counter tracking. There are 2 specific points I'm a little confused on.
1. Under the documentation for `tcp-request content`, it says: > In case of HTTP keep-alive with the client, all tcp-request content rules are evaluated again, so haproxy keeps a record of what sticky counters were assigned by a "tcp-request connection" versus a "tcp-request content" rule, and flushes all the content-related ones after processing an HTTP request This sounds like if I were to use `tcp-request content track-sc0 src`, that after the http request is finished processing, the sticky counter for the source IP will be stop being tracked. However this does not appear to be the case as when I log sc0_conn_cur, it is counting clients that are sitting idle between http requests (using http keep-alive). 2. Under the documentation for `http-request track-sc0`, it says: > Once a "track-sc*" rule is executed, the key is looked up in the table and if it is not found, an entry is allocated for it. Then a pointer to that entry is kept during all the session's life This sounds like the sticky counter is tracked for the duration of the http session: "entry is kept during all the **session's** life". However this does not seem to be the case as when I log sc0_conn_cur, clients that are sitting idle between http requests are not counted. Am I interpreting the documentation incorrectly, or is the documentation incorrect? -Patrick
