req.len

integer

Returns the number of bytes present in the request buffer.

• req.payload(<offset>,<length>)

• payload(<offset>,<length>) (deprecated)

binary

Extracts a binary block of <length> bytes and starting at byte <offset> in the request buffer. As a special case, if the <length> argument is zero, the entire buffer from <offset> to the end is extracted.

• req.payload_lv(<offset1>,<length>[,<offset2>])

• payload_lv(<offset1>,<length>[,<offset2>]) (deprecated)

binary

Extracts a binary block whose size is specified at <offset1> for <length> bytes, and which starts at <offset2> if specified or just after the length in the request buffer. The <offset2> parameter also supports relative offsets if prepended with a + or - sign.

• req.proto_http

• req_proto_http (deprecated)

boolean

Returns true when data in the request buffer looks like HTTP and correctly parses as such. It is the same parser as the common HTTP request parser which is used so there should be no surprises. The test does not match until the request is complete, failed, or timed out.

• req.rdp_cookie([<name>])

• rdp_cookie([<name>]) (deprecated)

string

When the request buffer looks like RDP protocol, this extracts the RDP cookie <name>, or any cookie if unspecified. The parser only checks for the first cookie, as illustrated in the RDP protocol specification. The cookie name is case insensitive. Generally the MSTS cookie name is used, as it can contain the user name of the client connecting to the server if properly configured on the client. The MSTSHASH cookie is often used as well for session stickiness to servers.

• req.rdp_cookie_cnt([name])

• rdp_cookie_cnt([name]) (deprecated)

• req.ssl_sni

• req_ssl_sni (deprecated)

string

Returns an integer value containing the type of SSL hello message found in the response buffer if the buffer contains data that parses as a complete SSL (v3 or superior) hello message. Note that this only applies to raw contents found in the response buffer and not to contents deciphered via an SSL data layer, so this cannot work with server lines having the SSL option.

• req.ssl_ver

• req_ssl_ver (deprecated)

integer

Returns an integer value containing the version of the SSL/TLS protocol of a stream present in the request buffer. Both SSLv2 hello messages and SSLv3 messages are supported. TLSv1 is announced as SSL version 3.1. The value is composed of the major version multiplied by 65536, added to the minor version. Note that this only applies to raw contents found in the request buffer and not to contents deciphered via an SSL data layer, so this cannot work with "bind" lines having the "ssl" option. The ACL version of the test matches against a decimal notation in the form MAJOR.MINOR (eg: 3.1).

res.len

integer

Returns an integer value corresponding to the number of bytes present in the response buffer. It is important to understand that this test does not return false as long as the buffer is changing. This means that a check with equality to zero will almost always immediately match at the beginning of the session, while a test for more data will wait for that data to come in and return false only when haproxy is certain that no more data will come in. This test was designed to be used with TCP response content inspection.

res.payload(<offset>,<length>)

binary

This extracts a binary block of <length> bytes and starting at byte <offset> in the response buffer. As a special case, if the <length> argument is zero, the the whole buffer from <offset> to the end is extracted.

res.payload(<offset>,<length>)

binary

This extracts a binary block whose size is specified at <offset1> for <length> bytes, and which starts at <offset2> if specified or just after the length in the response buffer. The <offset2> parameter also supports relative offsets if preceded with a + or - sign.

wait_end

boolean

This fetch either returns true when the inspection period is over, or does not fetch.

base

string

Returns the concatenation of the first Host header and the path part of the request, which starts at the first slash and ends before the question mark.

base32

integer

Returns a 32-bit hash of the value returned by the basefetch method above. This is useful to track per-URL activity on high traffic sites without having to store whole URLs. Instead a shorter hash is stored, saving a lot of memory. The output type is an unsigned integer.

base32+src

binary

Returns the concatenation of the base32 and the src fetches. The resulting type is of type binary, with a size of 8 or 20 bytes depending on the source address family. This can be used to track per-IP, per-URL counters.

capture.req.hdr(<idx>)

string

Extracts the content of the header captured by the capture request header, <idx> is the position of the capture keyword in the configuration and starts at 0.

capture.req.method

string

Extracts the METHOD of an HTTP request. It can be used in both request and response because it is allocated.

capture.req.uri

string

Extracts the request's URI, which starts at the first slash and ends before the first space in the request (without the host part). Unlike path and url, it can be used in both request and response because it's allocated.

capture.req.ver

string

Extracts the request's HTTP version and returns either HTTP/1.0 or HTTP/1.1. Unlike req.ver, it can be used in both request, response, and logs because it relies on a persistent flag.

capture.res.hdr(<idx>)

string

Extracts the content of the header captured by the capture response header, <idx> is the position of the capture keyword in the configuration and starts at 0.

capture.res.ver

string

Extracts the response's HTTP version and returns either HTTP/1.0 or HTTP/1.1. Unlike res.ver, it can be used in logs because it relies on a persistent flag.

eq.body

binary

Extracts the body from an HTTP request as a block of data. Requires option option http-buffer-request in the front end. In case of chunked encoding, only first chunk is analyzed.

req.body_len

integer

Returns the length of the HTTP request's body available, in bytes. It may be lower than the advertised length when the body is larger than the buffer (global's tune.bufsize parameter) Requires option option http-buffer-request in the front end. In case of chunked encoding, only first chunk is evaluated.

req.body_size

integer

Returns the advertized length (HTTP Header Content-Length) of the HTTP request's body in bytes. Requires option option http-buffer-request in the frontend. In case of chunked encoding, only first chunk is evaluated.

req.body_param([<name>])

string

Extracts the first occurrence of the parameter <name> (case sensitive) in the body. If none provided, then all are evaluated. This fetch assumes the body of the POST request is URL-encoded. Content-Type header value is set to application/x-www-form-urlencoded.

• req.cook([<name>])

• res.cook([<name>])

• cook([<name>]) (deprecated)

• cookie([<name>]) (deprecated)

• scook([<name>]) (deprecated)

• set-cookie([<name>]) (deprecated)

string

Extracts the last occurrence of the cookie <name> on a Cookie or Set-Cookie header line from the request using req.cook() or the response using res.cook() respectively, and returns its value as string. If no name is specified, the first cookie value is returned; <name> is case-sensitive.

• req.cook_cnt([<name>])

• es.cook_cnt([<name>])

• cook_cnt([<name>]) (deprecated)

• scook_cnt([<name>]) (deprecated)

integer

Returns an integer value representing the number of occurrences of the cookie <name> in the request for req.cook_cnt() or in the response for res.cook_cnt(), or all cookies if <name> is not specified.

• req.cook_val([<name>])

• res.cook_val([<name>])

• cook_val([<name>]) (deprecated)

• scook_val([<name>]) (deprecated)

string

This extracts the last occurrence of header <name> in an HTTP request (req.hdr) or response (res.hdr). Optionally, a specific occurrence <occ> might be specified as a position number. Positive values indicate a position from the first occurrence, with 1 being the first one. Negative values indicate positions relative to the last one, with -1 being the last one.

The functions req.hdr() and res.hdr() consider any comma as a delimiter for distinct values. If full-line headers are desired instead, use req.fhdr() or res.fhdr() respectively.

hdr is equivalent to req.hdr() when used on requests, and to res.hdr() when used on responses. Refer to these respective fetches for more details. In case of doubt about the fetch direction, please use the explicit ones.

• req.hdr_cnt([<name>])

• req.fhdr_cnt([<name>])

• res.hdr_cnt([<name>])

• res.fhdr_cnt([<name>])

• hdr_cnt([<header>]) (deprecated)

integer

Returns an integer value representing the number of occurrences of request or response header field name <name> with respectively req.hdr_cnt() or res.hdr_cnt(), or the total number of header fields if <name> is not specified.

It is important to remember that one header line may count as several headers if it has several values. The function considers any comma as a delimiter for distinct values. If you want full-line headers, use req.fhdr_cnt() or res.fhdr_cnt() instead.

• req.hdr_val([<name>[,<occ>]])

• res.hdr_val([<name>[,<occ>]])

• hdr_val([<name>[,<occ>]]) (deprecated)

• shdr_val([<name>[,<occ>]]) (deprecated)

integer

Extracts the last occurrence of header <name> in an HTTP request or response, with respectively req.hdr_val() or res.hdr_val(), then converts it to an integer value.

When used with ACLs, all occurrences are checked, and if <name> is omitted, every value of every header is checked. Optionally, a specific occurrence might be specified as a position number. Positive values indicate a position from the first occurrence, with 1 being the first one. Negative values indicate positions relative to the last one, with -1 being the last one.

• req.hdr_names([<delim>]])

• res.hdr_names([<delim>]])

integer

Returns a boolean indicating whether the authentication data received from the client matches a username & password stored in the specified <userlist>. Currently only http basic auth is supported.

http_auth_group(<userlist>)

string

Returns a string corresponding to the user name found in the authentication data received from the client if both the user name and password are valid according to the specified <userlist>. Currently only http basic auth is supported.

http_first_req

boolean

Returns true when the request being processed is the first one of the connection.

method

integer + string

Returns an integer value corresponding to the method in the HTTP request. Possible integer and string values are 1 - OPTIONS, 2 - GET, 3 - HEAD, 4 - POST, 5 - PUT, 6 - DELETE, 7 - TRACE, 8 - CONNECT, 9 - OTHER. In the configuration any of the integer or string form is accepted and valid.

path

string

Extracts the request's URL path, which starts at the first slash and ends before the question mark (without the host part). See also the URLand base fetch methods.

• req.ver

• res.ver

• req_ver (deprecated)

• res_ver (deprecated)

string

Returns the HTTP version from the request or response using respectively req.ver and res.ver. Example or string returned: 1.1

res.comp

boolean

Returns the boolean true value if the response has been compressed by HAProxy, otherwise returns boolean false.

res.comp_algo

string

Returns a string containing the name of the algorithm used if the response was compressed by HAProxy.

• req.hdr_ip([<name>[,<occ>]])

• res.hdr_ip([<name>[,<occ>]])

• hdr_ip([<name>[,<occ>]]) (deprecated)

• shdr_ip([<name>[,<occ>]]) (deprecated)

ip

Extracts the last occurrence of header <name> in an HTTP request or response, using respectively req.hdr_ip() or res.hdr_ip(), then convert it to either an IPv4 or IPv6 address and returns this address. Optionally, a specific occurrence <occ> might be specified as a position number. Positive values indicate a position from the first occurrence, with 1 being the first one. Negative values indicate positions relative to the last one, with -1 being the last one. This can be useful to learn some data into a stick table.

status

integer

Returns an integer containing the HTTP status code from the HTTP response. IE: 302.

status

integer

Returns an integer containing the HTTP status code from the HTTP response. IE: 302.

url

string

Extracts the request's URL as presented in the request. Usually, path is preferred over using URL, because clients can send a full URL as it is normally done with proxies. The only real use is to match anything which does not match in path.

url_ip

ip

Extracts the IP address from the request's URL when the host part is presented as an IP address. Its use is very limited.

url_port

integer

Extracts the port part from the request's URL. Note that if the port is not specified in the request, port 80 is assumed.

• rlp(<name>[,<delim>])

• url_param(<name>[,<delim>])

string

Extracts the first occurrence of the parameter <name> in the query string, which begins after either ? or <delim>, and which ends before either &, ; or <delim>. The parameter <name> is case-sensitive. The result is a string corresponding to the value of the parameter <name> as presented in the request (no URL decoding is performed).

urlp_val(<name>[,<delim>])

integer

See urlp. This one extracts the URL parameter <name> from the request and converts it to an integer value.
