Hi Holger,
Many thanks for this hint. I guess I will need to follow up with Openshift/RedHat. I have posted a question in the forum there, but so far no feedback: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/44134775/how-to-suppress-http-connection-keep-alive-header-in-response. Thanks also for the advice to upgrade. I'm not sure if that is easy or even possible in Openshift online. Maybe their next version of the platform (v3) will have a more recent version of HAProxy. Would be nice, because I am also missing some of the config options that were added in later versions.
