Inline ACLs

Although you can define an ACL on its own by using the acl directive, in which case it can be referenced on another line by name:

frontend www
   bind :80
   acl api_url path_beg /api/
   use_backend api_servers if api_url

backend api_servers
   server s1 192.168.50.20:80

You can also declare the ACL inline by surrounding the expression with curly braces:

frontend www
   bind :80
   use_backend api_servers if { path_beg /api/ }

backend api_servers
   server s1 192.168.50.20:80
