HAProxy Load Balancer's development branch (mirror of git.haproxy.org)

Project mention: HAProxy is not affected by the HTTP/2 Rapid Reset Attack (CVE-2023-44487) | news.ycombinator.com | 2023-10-11

I wanted to try it out just now but hit a roadblock immediately - it cannot automatically obtain and maintain TLS certificates. You have to use an external client (e.g. acme.sh), set up a cron to check/renew them, and poke HAProxy to reload them if necessary. I'm way past doing this in 2023.
