Hi all, one year ago I proposed to remove support for "mode health", "monitor-net" and "monitor-uri", then the conversation moved to the fact that were missing "http-request return" to implement monitor-uri cleanly and nobody complained about "mode health" nor "monitor-net" which are already quite useless now since incompatible with SSL for example:
https://www.mail-archive.com/haproxy@formilux.org/msg35204.html And since then we forgot to kill them :-/ I rediscovered they were still present while trying to make progress on the code changes required to integrate with QUIC. Seeing two nice 'send(cfd, "OK")' directly in the code didn't make me laugh a lot to be honest. So I'm going to kill them right now in 2.3 (a year late and with no more prior warning than the past discussion above), otherwise we're stuck for yet another round. I'm fine with adding suggestions about http-return in the error messages though. As previously discussed above, we can probably keep monitor-uri for now as it works. It's not the most elegant thing in the code but replacing it will be at least as annoying for some users as it is to keep it in the code. Probably that we could update the doc to encourage use of http-request return though. If someone has a good proposal that does both monitor-uri and monitor-fail in one line, that would be nice (e.g. maybe with Tim's new "iif"). Regarding "http-tunnel" which is ignored and was marked as deprecated since 2.1-dev2, I'll kill it as well for 2.3. For "nbproc", given that I had no response in the previous question and I anticipate some surprises if I play games with it, I'll probably apply William's suggestion, consisting in starting to emit a warning about it, and asking users to either remove it, or explicitly mention "nbthread 1" to get rid of the warning, and to report their use case. I think we'll really have to spend some time discussing about future cleanups in the language during 2.4-dev, so that we can start adding other warnings in 2.4. Some of these could cover Tim's request to try to make the naming a bit more consistent between sample fetches and converters. Regards, Willy
