HAProxy redirecting http to https (ssl)

Question

I\'m using HAProxy for load balancing and only want my site to support https. Thus, I\'d like to redirect all requests on port 80 to port 443.

How would I do this?<

According to http://parsnips.net/haproxy-http-to-https-redirect/ it should be as easy as configuring your haproxy.cfg to contain the follow.

#---------------------------------------------------------------------
# Redirect to secured
#---------------------------------------------------------------------
frontend unsecured *:80
    redirect location https://foo.bar.com

#---------------------------------------------------------------------
# frontend secured
#---------------------------------------------------------------------
frontend  secured *:443
   mode  tcp
   default_backend      app

#---------------------------------------------------------------------
# round robin balancing between the various backends
#---------------------------------------------------------------------
backend app
    mode  tcp
    balance roundrobin
    server  app1 127.0.0.1:5001 check
    server  app2 127.0.0.1:5002 check
    server  app3 127.0.0.1:5003 check
    server  app4 127.0.0.1:5004 check
