Using LUA script for HAProxy backend selection

Principle / HAProxy features used

• HAProxy can extract pieces of information known as samples. Samples can be fetched from various sources, for the use-case described herein extraction from HTTP request is required.

• A sample may then pass through a number of operators known as converters. A converter consumes a sample and produces a new one.

• HAProxy standard fetches/converters can be extended by writing own fetches/converters in LUA
