I'm not sure to understand your question. You want to analyse received data before taking a decision ? the Lua receive function doesn't consume CPU while is waiting for data. Once data are available the function receive() returns and ou can process these data. > 2. Is there anyway to trigger a LUA action upon TCP active close from > the target? If you're using http, once the first bytes are send to the client, you can't send you own response. So the only one case is when th server close without sending anything. Maybe you can use a "tcp-response content" Lua function and call dup() function (https://www.arpalert.org/src/haproxy-lua-api/1.8/index.html#Channel.dup). If you receive data, it's ok, if the channel is close you receive 'nil' reponse, and you can send your redirect. I'm not sure that the dup() function wait for data, and I'm not sure that HAPRoxy call the Lua function if the client close the connection. Thierry
