| Description: | HAProxy is a TCP/HTTP reverse proxy which is particularly suited for high
availability environments. Indeed, it can:
- route HTTP requests depending on statically assigned cookies
- spread load among several servers while assuring server persistence
through the use of HTTP cookies
- switch to backup servers in the event a main one fails
- accept connections to special ports dedicated to service monitoring
- stop accepting connections without breaking existing ones
- add, modify, and delete HTTP headers in both directions
- block requests matching particular patterns
- report detailed status to authenticated users from a URI
intercepted from the application
The haproxy18 package is a backport of the regular haproxy RPM package
from RHEL/CentOS 8 modified to be installable along with the regular
haproxy RPM package from RHEL/CentOS 7, but linked against the libraries
in the openssl11-libs RPM package from EPEL 7 for TLSv1.3 support.
Run '/usr/libexec/haproxy18-syspaths enable' to create some convenience
symbolic links to make the haproxy18 RPM package the default haproxy. |
