'appsession' is not supported anymore ...

[damshenas]

According to https://github.com/docker/dockercloud-haproxy/blob/master/README.md

Settings in linked application services

Environment Variable	Description
APPSESSION	sticky session option, possible value JSESSIONID len 52 timeout 3h. See:> HAProxy:appsession

I should be able to use APPSESSION but when I use it I get the following logs. Although the container keep running, the haproxy is not functional ...

I have removed appsession in staging branch and create a new issue to support stick-table: #191
Close this one.
