That’s expected behavior.

It allows troubleshooting the issue, while the workaround is in place.

The issue seems to be with your huge cookies, can you try bumping tune.bufsize [1] and see what happens?

After disabling request some requests are working, other - not. 400 Error Code.

https://cbonte.github.io/haproxy-dconv/1.7/configuration.html#3.2-tune.bufsize

didn’t help
I’ve set tune.bufsize 32768 tune.maxrewrite 1024
Errors still here. After analysing requests I see that problem appears in random position. Cookie is just big field. I saw it in referrer and others. all requests are abour 2-5 Kb. I’ve tried to move traffic to another haproxy server in case hardware problems. Problem is still there.

10

I’ve tried to replay some of that requests using yandex tank (load test). It runs on 1000 rps without any 400 code error. Server can’t run faster. So may be some symbols are hidden and there is request problem.

11

Yandex very likely doesn’t produce those huge cookie headers.

Can you try tune.bufsize 32768 but without any maxrewrite configuration?

edit: Also what you posted here may be incomplete. Can you confirm the output of affected lines is as is here in discourse as it was on your command line? For example, the line that starts with “01430+” (containing byte 1472), do it look exactly the same? Because it seems we are missing characters.

13

Can you try tune.bufsize 32768 but without any maxrewrite configuration?

Doesn’t help problem still here. You can see error using that link

About requests Yes, i’ve modified them. Please use previous link to see them

14

Hi,

I looked through your traces, and I cannot find anything wrong. Replaying the same exact request in local repro works fine, I’m unable to reproduce this problem.

Can you provide the complete configuration and can you tell if this happens only under load only or does it also happen on on an “empty” server?

I believe we need to move this discussion to the mailing list, as I’m unable to pin point the root cause.

Can you send the github “gist” link along with a short description of what we have tried here to the mailing list at:
haproxy at formilux dot org

You don’t have to subscribe, just send an email to this address.

15

can’t send

Diagnostic-Code: smtp; 451 Temporary local problem - please try later

is it working?

16

It works fine, I just send a test email:

https://www.mail-archive.com/haproxy@formilux.org/msg24455.html

Double check the email address:
haproxy@formilux.org

If it still doesn’t work, can you provide the full error message please.

17

I’m sorry , I’ve made a mistake -formilux.dot.org

Bug is found. Fix soon be ready.
