Change from Set-Cookie to set-cookie

Help!
1

Hi All,

I am dealing with a weird issue, in the old HaProxy (at least in 1.5), I notice that the Set-Cookie part is written with capital S and C:

HTTP/1.1 200
Set-Cookie: JSESSIONID=C02B175BBFC708A7258E05EE21B64899; Path=/xxx-xxx; HttpOnly

In HaProxy 2.4 and I just tested it on 2.6, I am getting it in small letters. My client does not seem to accept the small letters:

HTTP/1.1 200
set-cookie: JSESSIONID=A816672CD2500D9177F012FB35CFDE49; Path=/xxx-xxx; HttpOnly

I was unable to find an RFC on this, but did notice that everywhere I look on the internet I see Set-Cookie and not set-cookie. Is this a bug on haproxy side, is it something I can configure somewhere, or is it a problem on the client side as it should not be case sensitive?

Thanks in advance…

To clarify a bit better, I can solve it by switching from HTTP mode to TCP mode, but that might give me issue with stickiness.

Don’t wanted to steal the right answer, so just a link to my source: Are HTTP headers case-sensitive? - Stack Overflow

If you have a bogus client that breaks otherwise, yes, you can workaround this client bug with the bogus client features that have been introduced for this use-case. Something like:

global
 h1-case-adjust set-cookie Set-Cookie
default
 h1-case-adjust-bogus-client

Also see h1-case-adjust and option h1-case-adjust-bogus-client.

Thanks for your response, this is very useful. I will try this out soon and confirm if it works.

Tested and works, many thanks, just a small remark, it should be:

global
h1-case-adjust set-cookie Set-Cookie
default
option h1-case-adjust-bogus-client
