Dynamic server name and header

jbrahy · September 18, 2019, 12:56am

I’m looking for the equivalent of this code block below for requests to www.example.com and example.com. Can I do string concatenation like this?

http-response set-header X-Target  example.com
server web-servers  site.example.com:80 check

This is what I want to try. I just want to know if I’m crazy.

http-response set-header X-Target  %[req.hdr(Host)]
server web-servers  site.%[req.hdr(Host),regsub(^www.,,)]:80 check

HA-Proxy version 1.8.12-8a200c7 2018/06/27

I’m getting this error when I try haproxy -c -f haproxy.test

[root@pm-prod-haproxy05 haproxy]# haproxy -c -f haproxy.test
[ALERT] 259/180932 (16116) : parsing [haproxy.test:40]: ‘http-response set-header’: sample fetch <req.hdr(Host)> may not be reliably used here because it needs ‘HTTP request headers’ which is not available here.

Please just explain what you are actually trying to do in the first place.

Got it, you want to the destination server to be based on the Host header.

This is not advisable; haproxy is a reverse proxy/load balancer, not a forwarding proxy like squid.

However you may be able to achieve some of this with the http-request do-resolve directive, but YMMV.

I have SSL on a HA Proxy server and they’re all named with the domain and www.domain names. The servers behind have the name site.domain so it wouldn’t be a wide open proxy and only work for sites that have site. before the domain name. I’ve had to copy and paste the same chunk of code for every domain to make it work and I was just hoping I could make it happen a bit more dynamically.

I reviewed the code for this but I don’t see how I could do string concatenation.

 http-request do-resolve(txn.myip,mydns,ipv4) hdr(Host),lower

This is my configuration and I was really hoping to simply it.
