Http request cannot pass thru when using load test tool

Hello,

I am experience problem when using some load test tools such as Jmeter or Paessler Stress Tool.

The request could not able to pass thru the the haproxy. But it was success while manually access using typical browser. Please advise is it something need special in haproxy or load test tools?

haproxy code

And the log from haproxy is

Thanks!

I’m having the exact same issue using T-Rex traffic generator and posted a similar thread (HAProxy With Load Balancer) - am very interested if you figure this out.

Your server seems to be configured as an SSL server. It listen on the port 443 and you enable ssl checks (option ssl-hello-check). But the ssl is not enable on the server line.

SSL wasn’t terminated in the frontend either though; so there is a choice to make:

Either terminate SSL on both frontend and backend port 443, or in neither (in the latter case, the port 80 bind statement also has to go).
