RTMP streaming through http

I'm trying to set up a streaming service using Nginx-rtmp. The config file is

    rtmp {
    server {
        listen 1935;

        chunk_size 4000;

        # video on demand for flv files
        application vod {
            play /var/flvs;
        }

        # video on demand for mp4 files
        application vod2 {
            play /var/mp4s;
        }
    }
}

I want the streaming service go through http not rtmp. Eventually we want client to connect to a proxy server using https and then the proxy server talk to the streaming server using rtmp. I'm testing using HTTP for now. So I set up a HAProxy using the following config:

global
    log /dev/log    local0
    log /dev/log    local1 notice
    chroot /var/lib/haproxy
    stats socket /run/haproxy/admin.sock mode 660 level admin
    stats timeout 30s
    user haproxy
    group haproxy
    daemon

    #tune.ssl.default-dh-param 2048 

    # Default SSL material locations
    ca-base /etc/ssl/certs
    crt-base /etc/ssl/private

    # Default ciphers to use on SSL-enabled listening sockets.
    # For more information, see ciphers(1SSL). This list is from:
    #  https://hynek.me/articles/hardening-your-web-servers-ssl-ciphers/

    ssl-default-bind-options no-sslv3

        timeout server  50000

    errorfile 403 /etc/haproxy/errors/403.http

    errorfile 503 /etc/haproxy/errors/503.http
    errorfile 504 /etc/haproxy/errors/504.http


frontend rtmp-80
        bind *:80
        default_backend rtmp-over-http

backend rtmp-over-http
        server media01 127.0.0.1:1935 check maxconn 200 

I can access the streaming service using uri of rtmp://the_ip:1935/vod2/gua.mp4 in a VLC player. But no matter what I tried, it does not work when I tried to access the streaming using http://the_ip:80/vod2/gua.mp4.

Is this even possible?

Thanks so much!
