I worked around this issue by including the "option httpchk" in the
backend but never using the "check" option for the servers in that
backend that are tracked. The server lines do contain the "track"
option.
backend be1
balance roundrobin
http-check disable-on-404
option httpchk HEAD /online.php HTTP/1.1\r\nHost:\ healthcheck
server 1.2.3.4 1.2.3.4:80 check
backend be2
balance roundrobin
http-check disable-on-404
option httpchk HEAD /online.php HTTP/1.1\r\nHost:\ healthcheck
server 1.2.3.4 1.2.3.4:80 track be1/1.2.3.4
