Hey DM,

I've been using the haproxy on SBBS/Linux no problem at all. In my haproxy setup, I am using "check intr 60s" which has haproxy opening a TCP session (to check it is still there) and sending a check packet. My haproxy patch that I gave you consumes that check packet as well and closes the session. (If you have Debugging enabled it writes a "We are alive" message to the log.)

I've just spun up a SBBS on Windows (from the zip files on your website a few days ago), and while haproxy is working OK - the check is failing.

In the log, I see "Working out client address ..." (line 375 of xpdev/multisock.c), but then a failed to read socket, followed by "looking for version - failed []". (line 383).

It seems the read_socket_line() is failing (381).

So I'm not sure why haproxy is working when a user is logging in, but failing for the haproxy check. (And if I reconfig my haproxy to point to my linux machine - it works, but that is a build from 8 weeks ago in case that helps.)

Here is an extract from the log on Windows:
3/14 10:13:37p 1056 Working out client address from HAProxy PROTO
3/14 10:13:37p 1056 multisock read_socket() - failed to read from socket. Got [-1] with error [An existing connection was forcibly closed by the remote host.]
3/14 10:13:37p 1056 * HAPROXY looking for version - failed []

And here is the log on linux:

Mar 14 22:02:46 c-8-2 synchronet[1297558]: term 0012 Working out client address from HAProxy PROTO
Mar 14 22:02:46 c-8-2 synchronet[1297558]: term 0012 * HAPROXY looking for version - 1st 2 bytes received [0d0a] of (2)
Mar 14 22:02:46 c-8-2 synchronet[1297558]: term 0012 * HAPROXY PROTO v2
Mar 14 22:02:46 c-8-2 synchronet[1297558]: term 0012 * HAPROXY Version [2]

Mar 14 22:02:46 c-8-2 synchronet[1297558]: term 0012 * HAPROXY health check - we are alive!

I would try and debug this, but I dont have a windows dev environment and compiling on windows is out of my skill set anyway.

Do you know why it would be failing? I am happy to give you a haproxy config (or point mine to yours) to give you some debugging data if you wanted to try and debug it. (Although I see it says the remote closed the session - but it works to a linux host... hmm...)

I would update the Linux build to the latest to make sure there wasn't a regression.

Sorry, I don't know. I looked at the code but don't see anything obvious.

I am happy to give you a haproxy config
(or point mine to yours) to give you some debugging data if you wanted to try and debug it. (Although I see it says the remote closed the session - but it works to a linux host... hmm...)

I don't use haproxy nor know of anyone but you that is (for Synchronet use).

Howdy,

So I'm not sure why haproxy is working when a user is logging in, but failing for the haproxy check. (And if I reconfig my
haproxy to point to my linux machine - it works, but that is a build from 8 weeks ago in case that helps.)

I would update the Linux build to the latest to make sure there wasn't a regression.

OK, I rebuilt linux and it is working fine.

So dont understand why its failing on Windows. :(
