title: haproxy https health checks
body: <p>Hi I am using haproxy to load balance my https connections. I want to do active health checks however they don't seem to work. Any tips on how to correctly write the below would be welcome. I have them working fine for http port 80 connections.</p>
  
  <pre><code>frontend incoming_https
    bind *:443
    mode tcp
    default_backend web_https
  
  backend web_https
      mode tcp
      option httpchk GET / HTTP/1.1\r\nHost:\ https://www.mysite.com
      server web-0 xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:443 check inter 5000 port 443
  </code></pre>
