RewriteCond %{HTTP:Upgrade} websocket [NC] RewriteCond %{HTTP:Connection} upgrade [NC] RewriteRule /(.*) ws://localhost:8080/$1 [P,L] Use code with caution. Copied to clipboard ☁️ Cloud Providers & Load Balancers

If you are using Nginx as a reverse proxy, you must explicitly tell it to forward the Upgrade and Connection headers. By default, Nginx does not do this. Add or update your location block in your nginx.conf file: By default, Nginx does not do this

location /ws { proxy_pass http://your_backend_server; proxy_http_version 1.1; proxy_set_header Upgrade $http_upgrade; proxy_set_header Connection "upgrade"; } Use code with caution. Copied to clipboard 🕸️ Apache Configuration Fix
