Hey all, can someone give me a very brief summary of how haproxy handles its connection pooling when the backend server sends "Connection: close" and/or HTTP/1.0?
Or, to be more specific, we have (for certain traffic) an haproxy instance as backend for another haproxy. We are seeing huge increases in "sessions_cur" when one of the all-the-way-back-ends fail. I noticed that haproxy itself responds with HTTP/1.0 and "Connection: close" when a backend is unavailable. Would that mess with the connection pooling of the front-most haproxy? And, if so, would there any way to change this behaviour? We cannot rule out that this is an issue caused by how clients react to the errors, but I would nevertheless love to gain some insight into this scenario. Any hints would be greatly appreciated!
