Logging mystery

Haproxy 2.8
Ubuntu 22.04

I’m assuming that haproxy logs into /var/log/haproxy/haproxy.log.
I see logs there. But not everytime. Sometimes I see no logs at all although I’m initiating a request from my browser at home when I connect to my server under test.
This is tail -f /var/log/haproxy/haproxy.log after I did a service haproxy reload.
Then I did a telnet www.mydomain.org 80 and got the following:

root@mail:/var/log/haproxy# tail -f haproxy.log

Sure, I’m connecting through port 80, but shouldn’t that be redirected to https?

And the funny thing: I don’t see any traces in the log from my browser accesses to the site, when entering
http://www.mydomain.org/

Found the possible cause. I had

    option dontlog-normal
    option dontlognull

in my haproxy.cfg. Looks like these prevented any logs of normal connections.
