annotation "haproxy.org/load-balance: uri path-only" causes configuration reloads

[alexkayzer]

We found a bug, when using the kubernetes ingress annotation "haproxy.org/load-balance: uri path-only" , it constantly configuration reloads.
DEBUG service/service.go:134 Service 'example-app/example-app': backend 'example-app_example-app_http-8080' updated: [Balance.URIPathOnly: true != false] Reload required
versions that have tested applications 1.10.16, 3.0.1, 11.0

Thanks @alexkayzer for reporting this.
The root cause is similar to #673, we are working on a fix.

Here, it's not linked to the use of the Backend CRD, but the root cause is the same.
Even though the configuration is correctly written in the haproxy.cfg file

When we reconcile the Backend we detect a diff on the field, update the field and reload.

The issue comes from the included library client-library.
The issue has already been fixed in the client-native >= 5.1.5 but for Ingress Controller version:

• 1.11/3.0 are still using client-native 5.1.4

We need to bump client-native library and build a new version of Ingress Controller.
We will keep you posted.
