Issue
What I want to do is to proxy every websocket initialization to "ws://localhost:8081" and rest of the traffic directly to http://localhost:80801
I got it working using [P] flag however it is discouraged to do this that way as it does not use connection pooling.
The idea is to rewrite request to /websocket if header is set, and then if url is /websocket proxypass to ws endpoint.
However, this does not work for WS (works fine for http)
#rewrite for websockets
RewriteEngine On
LogLevel alert rewrite:trace8
RewriteCond "%{HTTP:Upgrade}" "websocket"
# RewriteRule "" "ws://localhost:8081" [P] works via proxy like that
RewriteRule "" "/websocket" [L]
ProxyPass /websocket "ws://localhost:8081"
ProxyPassReverse /websocket "ws://localhost:8081"
ProxyPass / http://localhost:8081/
What am I doing wrong?
Solution
Like 10 seconds later and I got an answer.
I had to PASS TROUGHT the request, so settings like
RewriteCond "%{HTTP:Upgrade}" "websocket"
# RewriteRule "" "ws://localhost:8081" [P] works via proxy like that
RewriteRule "" "/websocket" [L,PT]
does the job.
