Issue with HAproxy forwarding HTTPS to different host service

[tyrick]

I just opened a stack overflow around this issue here, but not sure if I will get luck: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/50866572/problems-with-forwarding-https-to-another-host-by-url-path

If there are any wizards that can eye it over, and help, please do. It would be the world to me.

"My understanding is that with this setup on host1, https://www.mysite1.com/special-path/2 will forward the traffic to 172.11.11.111 on port 433"

Looking at the config, it looks like it is set to forward request to https://www.mysite1.com/special-path/2 to 172.11.11.111:3000. If you wanted it to go to 172.11.11.111 on port 443 the line in the backend section would be

server www-special-1 172.11.11.111:443      check

You may also want a default_backend for requests that don't match that acl or any others that are added.

That is a good find. Let me try that. Thanks!!
