Hi guys I’m not a HAProxy user so in short history after upgrade our distro to Ubuntu 22.04 haproxy was upgraded too, many things are working or were fixed but I still has a little issue.

Current Version : haproxy version is 2.4.22-0ubuntu0.22.04.1
Old Version: haproxy version is 1.8-0ubuntu0.18.04.1

Since reqirep was replaced by “http-request replace-header” I try to fix the line it say that need a 3rd parameter I guess is acording to manual → here BUT what NAME means and how use it?
May someone please help me to fix it ? and better to understand how it work to solve future problems?

Just suggestion I found HA a very good product but doccu is not for newbies.

Hello :slight_smile:

reqrep (respectively reqirep) isn’t replaced by “http-request replace-header” only, but replaced by 'http-request replace-path’, ‘http-request replace-uri’ or ‘http-request replace-header’ depending on the use case.

In your case, you don’t wan’t to replace/edit a header - it seems, you are trying to replace/edit the path, so you should use:

http-request replace-path /img-collection/(.*) /\1

Unfortunately, I’m not entirely sure if that’s completely correct, but it’s the right direction :wink:

best regards,
Markus
