HAProxy 2.8.0

[lordbuddha]

Any chance that haproxy will be updated from 2.8.0 to a more recent maintenance release (2.8.3) on AL2023

The current 2.8.0 is a big security headache for us as HTTP POST handling in a LUA Applet is broken, but is fixed in later maintenance releases.

https://www.mail-archive.com/haproxy@formilux.org/msg43718.html describes the fix.

In the lua, receive functions for HTTP applets were fixed to properly
detect the end of messages. This was broken during the stream-connector
refactoring. It was possible to hang on received because the wrong SC
was tested. Still in the lua, the get_stat() function was fixed. It
stopped working because the "proto" field definition was missing.
