BUG/MINOR: tcpcheck: Allow connection reuse without prior traffic
New connections created by tcpcheck for are marked as private, making
them ineligible for insertion into the server-side connection pool, even
when check-reuse-pool is activated. Thus, connection reuse for health
checks would only work when the pool had already been populated by
regular (non-check) traffic.

Change this behavior so that a new check connection is not flagged as
private anymore when check-reuse-pool is requested. As a result, on
detach, instead of being freed, the connection will be inserted in the
idle pool and will be eligible for reuse, both for regular traffic and
checks.

This change can be useful to ensure that a server idle pool is never
completely empty when check-reuse-pool is active. Additionnally, it is
also necessary to ensure that check reuse is really effective when
connection parameters are different between checks and regular traffic,
resulting in a different reuse hash.

The previous behavior could be considered as a bug to a certain extents.
The current patch should be harmless for default configuration, but it
can be a significant improvment for users who want to perform reuse for
checks. Thus, it should be backported up to 3.2.

HAProxy logo

HAProxy is a free, very fast and reliable reverse-proxy offering high availability, load balancing, and proxying for TCP and HTTP-based applications.

Installation

The INSTALL file describes how to build HAProxy. A list of packages is also available on the wiki.

Getting help

The discourse and the mailing-list are available for questions or configuration assistance. You can also use the slack or IRC channel. Please don't use the issue tracker for these.

The issue tracker is only for bug reports or feature requests.

Documentation

The HAProxy documentation has been split into a number of different files for ease of use. It is available in text format as well as HTML. The wiki is also meant to replace the old architecture guide.

Please refer to the following files depending on what you're looking for:

  • INSTALL for instructions on how to build and install HAProxy
