"http-request deny", "http-request tarpit" and "http-response deny" rules now use the same syntax than http return rules and internally rely on the http replies. The behaviour is not the same when no argument is specified (or only the status code). For http replies, a dummy response is produced, with no payload. For old deny/tarpit rules, the proxy's error messages are used. Thus, to be compatible with existing configuration, the "default-errorfiles" parameter is implied. For instance : http-request deny deny_status 404 is now an alias of http-request deny status 404 default-errorfiles
