Hey guys, I'm building a solution where I am ssl-offloading some old plain http applications.
The http ports are listening on 8001, 8002, 8003, etc. I'm using haproxy 1.8.12 to listen on ports 18001, 18002, 18003, etc. using ssl. Everything works fine, as expected. I am trying to make stuff a bit more fool-proof for stupid users, and testing stuff like talking http to https ports, etc. These things are not supposed to happen, but users sometimes do stupid stuff like that. When I talk http to a https port, I would expect something like an error message 'ERROR 400: You are talking http to a https port', or something like that. This makes it clear to users what they are doing wrong. (Apache does this.) However, I get no reply whatsoever. Not even a status code, haproxy just closes the connection, and curl just says: "* Empty reply from server". Haproxy logs a nice "SSL handshake failure" error in it's logs, as expected. I don't know if haproxy was designed to just keep quiet, but I would love to get a nice error message back. Is this something configurable? Angelo.
