This snippet shows you how to use haproxy to redirect http traffic to https or any other website.

This snippet was tested on haproxy 1.5.

To redirect traffic from a haproxy frontend, use the following config:

frontend example-frontend
  bind 10.20.30.40:80
  redirect location https://example.org:443

As you can see, the redirect location can be anything, for example, the ssl version of the frontend or any other website.
