Marco I think I am experiencing this too. I am using apache to reverse proxy to our app that handles the web sockets / chat.
As far as I can tell from mod_dumpio's logging apache returns the correct response headers to the client - particularly: [Wed Jan 11 09:31:43.807204 2017] [dumpio:trace7] [pid 8091] mod_dumpio.c(100): [remote 192.168.1.136:8001] mod_dumpio: dumpio_in (data-HEAP): HTTP/1.1 101 Switching Protocols\r\nServer: AutobahnPython/0.17.1\r\nUpgrade: WebSocket\r\nConnection: Upgrade\r\nSec-WebSocket-Accept: 9+mE2HjR58djdFt7E0WxNbqemsM=\r\n\r\n\x81\x10{"accept": true} [Wed Jan 11 09:31:43.807235 2017] [dumpio:trace7] [pid 8091] mod_dumpio.c(100): [client 127.0.0.1:51749] mod_dumpio: dumpio_out (data-TRANSIENT): HTTP/1.1 101 Switching Protocols\r\nServer: AutobahnPython/0.17.1\r\nUpgrade: WebSocket\r\nConnection: Upgrade\r\nSec-WebSocket-Accept: 9+mE2HjR58djdFt7E0WxNbqemsM=\r\n\r\n\x81\x10{"accept": true} However according to Firefox, Safari & Chrome those headers aren't there: "Error during WebSocket handshake: 'Upgrade' header is missing" I'm looking forward to getting to the bottom of this 2017-01-10 17:57 GMT-03:00 Marco Pizzoli <marco.pizz...@gmail.com>: > Hi all, > I am reverse proxying a backend which returns a http code 401. > I see Apache is stripping out all the http headers returned by the backend > along with the 401 and this is causing trouble to the client application. > > Is there a way to get the original http headers to the client? > > I can't find any documentation about this.
