Apache 2.4.54 - Performance implementing ProxyPass Configuration for WebSocket Connections
Does anyone know how to Could someone explain I've been struggling with this for a few days now and could really use some help..... I'm experiencing important performance optimization when trying to use `ProxyPass` to handle WebSocket connections through Apache 2.4.54. My current configuration looks like this: ```apache <VirtualHost *:80> ServerName websocket.example.com ProxyPass /ws ws://localhost:3000/ws ProxyPassReverse /ws ws://localhost:3000/ws ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/websocket_error.log CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/websocket_access.log combined ProxyPreserveHost On </VirtualHost> ``` When I try to connect to the WebSocket, I keep getting the following behavior in the console: ``` WebSocket connection to 'ws://websocket.example.com/ws' failed: behavior during WebSocket handshake: Unexpected response code: 403 ``` I have double-checked that the application on port 3000 is actually running and accepting WebSocket connections. The `ws` module in Node.js is configured correctly as well. My Apache setup seems to be causing issues, especially since regular HTTP requests to the server are functioning without any problems. I also ensured that the necessary modules are enabled: ```bash sudo a2enmod proxy sudo a2enmod proxy_http sudo a2enmod proxy_wstunnel ``` Despite these configurations, I'm still exploring. I've tried adding the following directives to the `VirtualHost` block to see if they help: ```apache <Location /ws> Require all granted </Location> ``` This did not resolve the scenario, and the behavior continues. The logs show nothing useful except for the occasional 403 behavior. Is there something specific I need to do to ensure that WebSocket connections are properly proxied? Any insights into this would be greatly appreciated. For context: I'm using Javascript on Windows. Has anyone dealt with something similar? The project is a service built with Javascript. Hoping someone can shed some light on this. I'm developing on Debian with Javascript.
