Haproxy: Documentation (v1.9+) needs to be updated

Created on 19 Jun 2020  路  3Comments  路  Source: haproxy/haproxy

Hi everybody,
the first chapter of the official documentation needs to be updated, as from HAProxy v.1.9 it became possible to forward HTTP/2 requests to other servers.

Specifically, as @lukastribus confirms, this is the paragraph that should be updated:

For HTTP/2, the connection mode resembles more the "server close" mode : given
the independence of all streams, there is currently no place to hook the idle
server connection after a response, so it is closed after the response. HTTP/2
is only supported for incoming connections, not on connections going to
servers.

Yes, and I have in my todo list to finish to lift up such docs for the 2.2 release. We've been significantly delayed by painful bugs, and I think some docs will be updated post-release and backported. But this example is a perfect one and it must be fixed.

Thanks for spotting it!

@wtarreau Very glad to contribute to this fantastic project!

If I may give a suggestion, I would migrate the documentation from .txt files to markdown format (.md files). That would incredibly improve the readability of the documents.

Doc was updated in 2.2 and now backported as far as 1.9. Closing.
