In some cases additional proxy server configuration may be required, and certain proxy servers may need to be upgraded to support WebSocket. If unencrypted WebSocket traffic flows through an explicit or a transparent proxy server on its way to the WebSocket server, then, whether or not the proxy server behaves as it should, the connection is almost certainly bound to fail today """ Websockets are not HTTP, they only handshake over HTTP, so I doubt mod_proxy_http would be able to support these bi-directional, long living sockets. Probably would require a new proxy module.
