hi all, Our main haproxy.conf has practically become sentient... it's reached the point where the number of url redirects and similar incantations is very hard to reason about, and certainly not test or validate, until it's shipped. In fact I deploy to a "B" cluster node, and verify most changes on a spare production node. This is not always possible to ensure that existing acls and url redirects aren't broken by the changes.
For example: https://%[hdr(host)]%[url,regsub(/$,)] ... didn't do what the person who deployed it thinks it does - easy enough to fix. How could we have tested this locally before committing it? Is there any easy-ish way to try out these rules, almost like you could in a REPL? Once we've written them, and committed them to our ansible repos, is there any way to unit test the whole config, to avoid regressions? 90% of these commits relate to remapping and redirecting urls from patterns. A+ Dave
