make on os x
I'm trying to build haproxy with kqueue on osx leopard, but I don't think it's working. There is no mention of DENABLE_KQUEUE anywhere when it's building it. This is the make I use: make Makefile.osx TARGET=darwin CPU=i686 USE_PCRE=1 all checking the executable after make: ./haproxy -vv HA-Proxy version 1.3.17 2009/03/29 Copyright 2000-2008 Willy Tarreau w...@1wt.eu Build options : TARGET = osx CPU = i686 CC = gcc CFLAGS = -O2 -march=i686 -g OPTIONS = USE_PCRE=1 So how do I enable kqueue in the build? thank you, Sergej

If I recall correctly a HTTP/1.1 client does not have to specify Content-Length when doing chunked encoding (TE: chunked) transfer, but nginx is not compliant with this. This is mainly an issue with PUT and POST requests. Did you bump into this or is it perhaps fixed in newer nginx?

I'm trying to keep things as simple as I can, so what is the correct way for me to handle this? Another option is to have Pound (http://www.apsis.ch/pound/) doing your HTTPS proxying. It does the SSL authentication and then sends the request for the actual content to the backend servers. Not sure of performance if you've got a site with very heavy traffic though. I'm currently using HAProxy and Pound side by side for my web load balancing and it works just fine with webmail servers that get a fair bit of traffic. On the subject of load balancing, I'd be careful about going the Heartbeat route. I've used it before and had headaches. I was using it with DRBD though, so it may work just fine in your situation.

RE: Do I need more than HAProxy for SSL webserver
Hi Guy I was curious, what problems did you have with heartbeat? I've been having a strange problem where the LB node, using Xen, where I keep loosing the ability to see the HAProxy stats page. If I stop and restart Heartbeat, then the stats come back for about 15-20 minutes. The failover capabilities seem to keep working, I just loose the stats. I also looked into pound, but I was concerned because others said they had problems on a busy CMS site. When I started to set this up, I looked at DRBD VS rsync/replication, but I actually don't remember now why I chose against it.
