Its sole remaining purpose was to display "proxy foo started", which
has little benefit and pollutes output for those with plenty of proxies.
Let's remove it now.
The VTCs were updated to reflect this, because many of them had explicit
counts of dropped lines to match this message.
This is tagged as MEDIUM because some users may be surprized by the
loss of this quite old message.
Extra parameters on http-check expect rules, for the header matching method, to
use log-format string or to match full header line have been removed. There is
now separate matching methods to match a full header line or to match each
comma-separated values. "http-check expect fhdr" must be used in the first case,
and "http-check expect hdr" in the second one. In addition, to match log-format
header name or value, "-lf" suffix must be added to "name" or "value"
keyword. For intance:
http-check expect hdr name "set-cookie" value-lf -m beg "sessid=%[var(check.cookie)]"
Thanks to this changes, each parameter may only be interpreted in one way.
All sample fetches in the scope "check." have been removed. Response sample
fetches must be used instead. It avoids keyword duplication. So, for instance,
res.hdr() must be now used instead of check.hdr().
To do so, following sample fetches have been added on the response :
* res.body, res.body_len and res.body_size
* res.hdrs and res.hdrs_bin
Sample feches dealing with the response's body are only useful in the health
checks context. When called from a stream context, there is no warranty on the
body presence. There is no option to wait the response's body.
It is now possible to add http-check expect rules matching HTTP header names and
values. Here is the format of these rules:
http-check expect header name [ -m <meth> ] <name> [log-format] \
[ value [ -m <meth> ] <value> [log-format] [full] ]
the name pattern (name ...) is mandatory but the value pattern (value ...) is
optionnal. If not specified, only the header presence is verified. <meth> is the
matching method, applied on the header name or the header value. Supported
matching methods are:
* "str" (exact match)
* "beg" (prefix match)
* "end" (suffix match)
* "sub" (substring match)
* "reg" (regex match)
If not specified, exact matching method is used. If the "log-format" option is
used, the pattern (<name> or <value>) is evaluated as a log-format string. This
option cannot be used with the regex matching method. Finally, by default, the
header value is considered as comma-separated list. Each part may be tested. The
"full" option may be used to test the full header line. Note that matchings are
case insensitive on the header names.
