When I received URL's with the following format:
/1/a/b/c
I rewrite the URL removing the digit like so:
/v2.0.0/a/b/c
And I need to set a header with the value of the digit I replaced, i.e.:
X-ID: 1
Is it possible to do this within haproxy? I am able to reqrep the original
url, and set an ACL to be used with an http-request add-header directive,
but I dont know how to extract the url value and either save it for use in
the add-header, or to write a format string in the add-header directive that
will do this.
I'm playing around with something like this but not having much luck:
acl url_id path_reg ^/([0-9]+)/.*$
http-request add-header X_ID %[path_reg(^/([0-9]+)/.*$)] if url_id
Any ideas?
Thanks,

Hi Rian,
Either there is a bug in the code or the documentation is inacurate,
in chapter 7.3.6 HTTP samples.
The document says we can fetch content using a sample called path and
all its derivatives, including path_reg.
Actually, when I add the following in my conf:
http-request set-header X-blah %[path_reg .*]
I have a configuration parsing error because of the slash.
When I backslash it:
http-request set-header X-blah %[path_reg\ .*]
The configuration is valid (from a syntax point of view) but HAProxy
doesn't do anything.
So in your case, I would do this for now:
acl url_id path_reg ^/([0-9]+)/.*$
http-request set-header X_ID %[path] if url_id
http-request replace-value X_ID ^/([0-9]+)/.*$ \1 if { req.hdr(X_ID) -m found }
should do the trick.
