FYI: Serving static files is easier and more flexible in modern versions of HAProxy via the `http-request return` action [1]. No need to abuse error pages and no need to embed the header within the error file any longer :-) You even have some dynamic generation capabilities via the `lf-file` option, allowing you to embed e.g. the client IP address or request ID in responses.

Nice, I will have to play around with that. I admit I sometimes get stuck in outdated patterns due to old habits and being lazy.

I think I recall chatting with you on here or email, I can't remember which. I have mostly interacted with Willy in the past. He is also on here. Every interaction with HAProxy developers have been educational and thought provoking not to mention pleasant.

Could possibly also have been in the issue tracker, which I did help bootstrapping and doing maintenance for quite a while after initially setting it up. Luckily the core team has took over, since I had much less time for HAProxy contributions lately.
