      I ran into a problem with HAProxy on pfSense. This is a new installation (2.4.4p1) with a clean configuration. Current HAProxy config is as follows:

      # Automaticaly generated, dont edit manually.
      # Generated on: 2019-01-05 10:43
      global
      	maxconn			10

      	server			www 172.22.7.40:443 id 104 ssl  verify none
      


      The GUI shows the ACLs for the front end as follows:


      Now I'd like to add a redirect from http to https. I'm looking for "Traffic is ssl" or "Traffic is http". However, the pull down initially doesn't show that option:

      Please note that there is no scrollbar on the right! I checked the DOM in the browser and "Custom acl:" is indeed the final element in the <select>...</select>.


      To continue, I selected "SSL Client certificate valid." and named it "https". Saved and committed, no problem.


      Now, if I edit that same setting, and look at the pull down items, the check for ssl is there!?!?:

      Please notice that there is a scrollbar!


      If I now select that "Traffic is ssl (no value needed):" item and try to save, it fails:


      This is all very confusing to me. Is there a problem with my config or is the GUI invalid?

        Replying to myself: I just did a clean install of pfSense 2.4.4p1 and tried above with the haproxy-devel package:

        1. Create a frontend, name it "test", save,
        2. Open "test", add an ACL, notice there is no "Traffic is ssl (no value needed):" option,
        3. Just to continue, name the ACL "https", expression="Host starts with:", value="https", save,
        4. Open "test" once again, edit the ACL, notice now there is the "Traffic is ssl (no value needed):" option,
        5. Change the expression to "Traffic is ssl (no value needed):", remove the value, save, same error. Or the ACL was completely removed.

        Either something is broken or I am completely not understanding this user interface?
