Problems with # in a path

Help!
1

Hi guys,

I’m quite new to HAProxy and now playing around with the HAProxy package in a pfsense firewall. So to my config: I’m using PFSense 2.7.2 with HAProxy package 2.8.3-86e043a. I created a backend together with a frontend with the following config:

ACL:
1.)
Name: HostIsMobile
Expression: Host Starts With
CS: no
not: no
Value: mobile.myweb.de

2.)
Name: PathIsSummary
Expression: Path Ends With
CS: no
not: no
Value: summary

Actions:

1.)
Action: UseBackend
Parameters: HeadwindMDM (= Name of backend)
Condition: HostIsMobile !PathIsSummary

2.)
Action: http-request deny
Parameters: deny_status 404
Condition: HostMobile IsSummary

I try to restrict the access to a webserver running Headwind Mobile Device Management. In this test case, I want to restrict the summary site, which is reachable via the following link:

http://mobile.myweb.de/#/summary

This doesn’t work, the site is normally available. But if I change the # into something else, the 404 error message appears as expected. Is there a problem parsing the # in path names or did I miss anything?

Thanks so far!

Regards!

This means:

The host part of the URL is mobile.myweb.de.
The Path is exactly one slash: /

Everything else is happening on the browser based. The path does not contain summary.

OK, got it, thanks!
