How to rewrite domain.com to www.domain.com with HAProxy?

We have 1 loadbalancer with 3 members behind it:

main balancer: www.website.com members: web1.website.com, web2.website.com and web3.website.com

Currently we are using nginx on the loadbalancer, but we want to replace it with HAProxy.

Nginx rewrites the domain without www (domain.com) to www.domain.com with the following line:

server {
    server_name domain.com;
    listen 1.2.3.4:80;

    rewrite ^(.*) http://www.domain.com$1 permanent;
}

How can I manage this with HAproxy?

My haproxy config:

frontend http 1.2.3.4:80

    default_backend www_cluster
    acl is_www hdr_end(host) -i www.domain.com
    use_backend www_cluster if is_www


backend www_cluster

    balance roundrobin
    cookie SERVERID insert nocache indirect

    option httpchk HEAD / HTTP/1.0
    option httpclose
    option forwardfor

    server web1 1.2.3.5:82 cookie WEB1 check
    server web2 1.2.3.6:82 cookie WEB2 check
    server web3 1.2.3.7:82 cookie WEB3 check

TIA!

The HAProxy Configuration Manual answers this directly:

Example:

Append 'www.' prefix in front of all hosts not having it

http-request redirect code 301 location      \
  http://www.%[hdr(host)]%[capture.req.uri]  \
  unless { hdr_beg(host) -i www }

It's under the redirect entry:

Revise the frontend block:

frontend http 1.2.3.4:80
    default_backend www_cluster
    redirect prefix http://www.mydomain.com code 301 if { hdr(host) -i domain.com }
