OK. Tried this too :-)

fine.

OK. However, haproxy says the server does not respond, while the server says the request is too short. One more reason to start looking at haproxy :-)

Unfortunately not, but it should not be too much complicated to add it (just that it would change the log format). If you're willing to try it, simply modify the logging function (http_sess_log I believe, from memory) to include the session's byte counters. You already have the byte counter for the response, simply add the request next to it. Keep in mind that it accounts for the whole request, headers included. But that will definitely help in your case.

Willy
