**both the https are using self-signed certificates.**

1. if i use ssl verify none , i can foward the traffice to the backend server, but i can’t detect the health for the backend servers with “option httpchk” .  
if one server is down, user will failed to open the website if one of the server is working properly.

2. if i use " check " , 503 error will be reported.

> 503 Service Unavailable  
> No server is available to handle this request.

from haproxy log, it show each backend server is down (actually they are fine).
