Yann & Eric thank you for getting back to me. As far as I know the "normal" http traffic is via "/chat/" (well at least that is visited page url).
When that page loads is connects to "/chat/stream" via the wss:// protocol using a javascript library called "reconnecting-websocket". So what I have expected to happen is that proxypass would catch the urls that contain /chat/stream and proxy them to the app running on localhost:8000 via the wss:// protocol - all other http/s traffic handled by the app running via mod_wsgi. I have just tried: ProxyPass /chat/ https://localhost:8000/chat/ ProxyPass /chat/stream wss://localhost:8000/chat/stream Now Apache just sits there and nothing loads - [Wed Dec 28 12:41:14.523727 2016] [proxy:debug] [pid 45890] mod_proxy.c(1198): [client 127.0.0.1:62404] AH01143: Running scheme https handler (attempt 0) [Wed Dec 28 12:41:14.523739 2016] [proxy:debug] [pid 45890] proxy_util.c(2154): AH00942: HTTPS: has acquired connection for (localhost) [Wed Dec 28 12:41:14.523749 2016] [proxy:debug] [pid 45890] proxy_util.c(2208): [client 127.0.0.1:62404] AH00944: connecting https://localhost:8000/chat/ to localhost:8000 [Wed Dec 28 12:41:14.523777 2016] [proxy:debug] [pid 45890] proxy_util.c(2417): [client 127.0.0.1:62404] AH00947: connected /chat/ to localhost:8000 [Wed Dec 28 12:41:14.523946 2016] [proxy:debug] [pid 45890] proxy_util.c(2798): (61)Connection refused: AH00957: HTTPS: attempt to connect to [::1]:8000 (localhost) failed [Wed Dec 28 12:41:14.524222 2016] [proxy:debug] [pid 45890] proxy_util.c(2807): AH02824: HTTPS: connection established with 127.0.0.1:8000 (localhost) [Wed Dec 28 12:41:14.524266 2016] [proxy:debug] [pid 45890] proxy_util.c(2975): AH00962: HTTPS: connection complete to [::1]:8000 (localhost) [Wed Dec 28 12:41:14.524283 2016] [ssl:info] [pid 45890] [remote 127.0.0.1:8000] AH01964: Connection to child 0 established (server alfred.local:80) *Browser* Proxy Error The proxy server received an invalid response from an upstream server.
