Introduction

The traditional way of implementing redirects in HAProxy configuration file is by using the http-request redirect statement. It is quite OK for a couple of redirect rules. Sometimes, however, you need to install thousands of redirects. This may be necessary, for instance, when switching to a new version of a site, in order to preserve links to old locations. Keeping such a big number of redirect statements in the configuration file is impractical, and maintaining such a configuration is tedious and error-prone task.

The haproxy-bulkredirect library is designed for such cases. It reads redirection rules from a plain text file, which is easy to maintain. Internally, the rules are stored in an associative array, which provides for fast lookups.

Dependencies

HAProxy version 2.3.6 or newer, compiled with Lua support.
