(Apache) HAProxy URL Rewriting with query strings (ugly URLs) - alexwilliams

This line can be added to 'backend', 'frontend', 'listen' directives in the HAProxy config. It will redirect all requests for /books/mysql to /books.php?title=mysql

In this example: *rewrite urls from domain.com to www.domain.com* This is somewhat documented elsewhere, but not very well, so here's an example on how to perform simple URL rewriting with HAProxy (instead of using mod_rewrite with apache). This works great if your servers use lighttpd, nginx, or anything that doesnt provide its own simple url rewriting.

_This hasn't been tested in production yet. Use at your own risk_ The read cluster contains 7 servers which can accept *READ* requests, but not all at once (see Failure Scenarios). The write cluster contains 4 servers which can accept *WRITE* requests (only 1 at a time though, *don't be stupid*). Port 9201 is an HTTP service which checks if replication is running fine (SlaveIO yes, SlaveSQL yes, SecondsBehindMaster 0). Port 9200 is an HTTP service which checks if mysql is running fine (results appear after performing 'show databases'). In both cases (ports 9200 and 9201), a simple shell script is installed on each server which then runs as a STREAM daemon through xinetd) and outputs a "200 OK" or "503 Service Unavailable".
