For https, have a look at my most recent config file:

```plaintext
global
	#
	# upload to: /etc/haproxy/
	#
  # to have these messages end up in /var/log/haproxy.log you will
  # need to:
  #
  # 1) configure syslog to accept network log events. This is done
  # by adding the '-r' option to the SYSLOGD_OPTIONS in
  # /etc/sysconfig/syslog
  #
  # 2) configure local2 events to go to the /var/log/haproxy.log
  # file. A line like the following can be added to
  # /etc/sysconfig/syslog
  #
  # local2.* /var/log/haproxy.log
  #
  # log 127.0.0.1 local2
