Since the release of 2.7.0, I changed the repository I build to 2.7
instead of master. I was noticing that some of the links in the table
at the top of haproxy.org are http instead of https.
All the links under Branch plus the git, web, and bugs links under Links
are http.
Those webservers do https, so if I were creating the website, I would
make all the links https. My haproxy configs include this config to
redirect anything that comes in unencrypted on port 80:
frontend web80
description Redirect to https
bind 0.0.0.0:80 name web80
redirect scheme https
default_backend be-deny
That frontend actually blocks a lot of bots ... when some of them get
the 302 response, they don't go any further. I see a bunch of requests
hitting port 80 with no followup https request.
There may be some reason the links are http, so this is just a heads up,
not a demand for change. Looking through the html, there are also a
number of other http links.
Thanks,
Shawn
