+Long: haproxy-protocol
+Help: Send HAProxy PROXY protocol header
+Protocols: HTTP
+Added: 7.60.0
+---
+Send a HAProxy PROXY protocol header at the beginning of the connection. This
+is used by some load balancers and reverse proxies to indicate the client's
+true IP address and port.
+
+This option is primarily useful when sending test requests to a service that
+expects this header.
