Right, in order to have Haproxy check every request you have to use httpclose.
From the manual:
HAProxy does not yes support the HTTP keep-alive mode. So by default, if a client communicates with a server in this mode, it will only analyze, log, and process the first request of each connection. To workaround this limitation, it is possible to specify "option httpclose".
