Hello      Moemen,

unless I got this wrong this isn't the setup I search for. I don't need haproxy to *be* a proxy but rather *use* a proxy while serving content over http as a reverse proxy

     Perhaps I should have given the thread this name

I get your point, HAProxy does not support using a "http/socks proxy". HAProxy intends to be "an HTTP reverse-proxy" retrieving resources from backend servers and the requests sent to a server are different from the ones sent to a "forward proxy". That being said HAProxy can still "pass" proxy requests to http/socks proxies if the client is configured to use a proxy.
How about to use delegate ( http://delegate.org/documents/ ) for this, just as an idea.

haproxy -> delegate FORWARD=... CONNECT=proxy:<your-proxy>

http://delegate.org/delegate/Manual.shtml?FORWARD
http://delegate.org/delegate/Manual.shtml?CONNECT

I know it's not that elegant but it could work.

 I need to contact applications through a socks or http proxy.

 My current setup looks like this but only works when the Computer
 haproxy runs on has direct Internet connection (which is not the case
 in our datacenter, I tried this at home)

 frontend main
 bind *:8000
 acl is_extweb1 path_beg -i /policies
 acl is_extweb2 path_beg -i /produkte
 use_backend externalweb1 if is_extweb1
 use_backend externalweb2 if is_extweb2

 backend externalweb1
 server static www.google.com:80 check

 backend externalweb2
 server static www.gmx.net:80 check

 There is an SO post which addresses the same question and provides
 some more details:

Hi Gbg,

For this to work you need the client (browser for example) to be aware
of the forward proxy.
So first you need to configure the client to use HAProxy as a forward
proxy, then in the HAProxy conf you need to use the forward proxy in the
backend and the configuration may look like this:

frontend main
bind *:8000
acl is_extweb path_beg -i /policies /produkte
use_backend forward_proxy if is_extweb
default_backend another_backend

backend forward_proxy
  server static < IP-of-the-forward-proxy > : < Port > check
