33 HAProxy Access Lists: Routing Based on User Agent Headers | Configuration Guide

Welcome to this in-depth video where I delve into the concept of HAProxy access lists and showcase their usage based on the user-agent header. The user-agent header provides valuable information about the client's web browser or application, enabling us to make routing decisions based on specific user agents.

In this tutorial, I'll demonstrate how to configure HAProxy access lists to route incoming requests based on the user-agent header. By examining the user-agent value, we can redirect requests to different backend servers or apply specific actions tailored to specific user agents.

During the demonstration, I'll guide you through the process of defining access list rules, specifying conditions based on user agents, and configuring the desired routing or actions. I'll provide practical examples to illustrate how this functionality can be leveraged in real-world scenarios.

By using HAProxy access lists based on user agents, you can effectively direct requests from different browsers or devices, such as Android and iPhone, to dedicated backend servers or apply tailored handling based on specific user agents. This level of granularity allows for enhanced control and customization of your application's traffic management.

To further assist your learning, I provide the accompanying configuration files and resources on my GitHub repository, ensuring a seamless learning experience. The link to the repository can be found in the video description.
