Hi, I don't understand why http mode is no able provide a backend server whereas at same time tcp mode is able to do it.
I am trying to setup Haproxy in front of an Influxdb database running on HTTPS. When frontend is configured on http mode, requests are failing with NOSRV error. When fronted is configure on tcp mod, requests are working. Example below with http mode on tcp/8086 port and tcp mode on tcp/8087 with same backend: #curl -G https://influxdb-drp.example.net:8086/query -u admin:'xxxx' --data-urlencode "q=SHOW DATABASES" <html><body><h1>503 Service Unavailable</h1> No server is available to handle this request. </body></html> Haproxy log showing NOSRV and SC: Jul 8 19:59:44 kalinga haproxy[26228]: 192.168.246.17:52946 [08/Jul/2017:19:59:44.661] https_influxdb~ https_influxdb/<NOSRV> -1/-1/136 212 SC 0/0/0/0/0 0/0 #curl -G https://influxdb-drp.example.net:8087/query -u admin:'xxxx' --data-urlencode "q=SHOW DATABASES" {"results":[{"statement_id":0,"series":[{"name":"databases","columns":["name"],"values":[["_internal"]]}]}]} Haproxy log: Jul 8 20:00:16 kalinga haproxy[26228]: 192.168.246.17:37142 [08/Jul/2017:20:00:16.672] https_influxdb_tcp~ influxdb-drp.example.net/https_8086 0/2/123 332 -- 1/1/0/0/0 0/0 Haproxy configuration file: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- global log /dev/log local1 debug maxconn 4096 debug tune.ssl.default-dh-param 4096 defaults log global mode tcp option tcplog retries 3 option redispatch maxconn 4000 timeout connect 5000ms timeout client 50000ms timeout server 50000ms frontend https_influxdb bind 192.168.246.17:8086 ssl crt /data/ssl_certs no-sslv3 ciphers ECDHE-ECDSA-AES256-GCM-SHA384:ECDHE-ECDSA-AES128-GCM-SHA256:ECDHE-ECDSA-AES256-SHA384:ECDHE-ECDSA-AES256-SHA:ECDHE-RSA-AES256-SHA384:ECDHE-RSA-AES256-SHA:DHE-RSA-AES256-SHA:DHE-RSA-AES128-SHA:DES-CBC3-SHA:!NULL:!aNULL:!RC4:!RC2:!MEDIUM:!LOW:!EXPORT:!DES:!MD5:!PSK:!3DES mode http option dontlognull reqadd X-Forwarded-Proto:\ https option http-server-close option forwardfor acl host_influxdb-drp.example.net hdr(host) -i influxdb-drp.example.net use_backend influxdb-drp.example.net if host_influxdb-drp.example.net frontend https_influxdb_tcp bind 192.168.246.17:8087 ssl crt /data/ssl_certs no-sslv3 ciphers ECDHE-ECDSA-AES256-GCM-SHA384:ECDHE-ECDSA-AES128-GCM-SHA256:ECDHE-ECDSA-AES256-SHA384:ECDHE-ECDSA-AES256-SHA:ECDHE-RSA-AES256-SHA384:ECDHE-RSA-AES256-SHA:DHE-RSA-AES256-SHA:DHE-RSA-AES128-SHA:DES-CBC3-SHA:!NULL:!aNULL:!RC4:!RC2:!MEDIUM:!LOW:!EXPORT:!DES:!MD5:!PSK:!3DES mode tcp option dontlognull option http-server-close option tcplog default_backend influxdb-drp.example.net backend influxdb-drp.example.net mode http server https_8086 127.0.0.1:8086 check ssl verify none ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- How can I configure Haproxy to work on http mode?
