This module requires the service of mod_proxy. It provides support for the tunnelling of web
socket connections to a backend websockets server. The connection
is automatically upgraded to a websocket connection:
Upgrade: WebSocket Connection: Upgrade
Proxying requests to a websockets server like echo.websocket.org can be done using the
ProxyPass directive:
ProxyPass "/ws2/" "ws://echo.websocket.org/" ProxyPass "/wss2/" "wss://echo.websocket.org/"
Load balancing for multiple backends can be achieved using mod_proxy_balancer.
In fact the module can be used to upgrade to other protocols, you can set the upgrade
parameter in the ProxyPass
directive to allow the module to accept other protocol.
NONE means you bypass the check for the header but still upgrade to WebSocket.
ANY means that Upgrade will read in the request headers and use
in the response Upgrade
This module provides no directives.
