Some expect rules cannot be satisfied due to inherent ambiguity towards
the received data: in the absence of match, the current behavior is to
be forced to wait either the end of the connection or a buffer full,
whichever comes first. Only then does the matching diagnostic is
considered conclusive. For instance :
tcp-check connect
tcp-check expect !rstring "^error"
tcp-check expect string "valid"
This check will only succeed if the connection is closed by the server before
the check timeout. Otherwise the first expect rule will wait for more data until
"^error" regex matches or the check expires.
Allow the user to explicitly define an amount of data that will be
considered enough to determine the value of the check.
This allows succeeding on negative rstring rules, as previously
in valid condition no match happened, and the matching was repeated
until the end of the connection. This could timeout the check
while no error was happening.
[Cf: I slighly updated the patch. The parameter was renamed and the value is a
signed integer to support -1 as default value to ignore the parameter.]
The HAProxy documentation has been split into a number of different files for ease of use. Please refer to the following files depending on what you're looking for : - INSTALL for instructions on how to build and install HAProxy - BRANCHES to understand the project's life cycle and what version to use - LICENSE for the project's license - CONTRIBUTING for the process to follow to submit contributions The more detailed documentation is located into the doc/ directory : - doc/intro.txt for a quick introduction on HAProxy - doc/configuration.txt for the configuration's reference manual - doc/lua.txt for the Lua's reference manual - doc/SPOE.txt for how to use the SPOE engine - doc/network-namespaces.txt for how to use network namespaces under Linux - doc/management.txt for the management guide - doc/regression-testing.txt for how to use the regression testing suite - doc/peers.txt for the peers protocol reference - doc/coding-style.txt for how to adopt HAProxy's coding style - doc/internals for developer-specific documentation (not all up to date)
