Proxy websocket wss:// to ws:// apache

Question

i searched alot but i couldnt connect my websocket to wss:// , i found that there is a way to proxy wss://domain.com:9090 and apache apply the proxy on it and redirect request

Answer 1

the problem I was trying to solve was similar to this one. I have a reverse proxy running under Apache 2.4 on CentOs 7 which has to work with both https and wss requests.

Behind the reverse proxy I have my app server running on an internal network. the virtual host configuration in the /etc/httpd/httpd.conf config file is as follows:

   ServerName example.com
   RewriteCond %(HTTP:Upgrade) websocket [NC]   # Required to handle the websocket connection
   RewriteCond %(HTTP:Connection) upgrade [NC]
   RewriteRule /(.*) ws://192.160.0.1/$1 [P,L]

  SSLEngine on # SSL Certificates handling
  SSLCertificateFile ssl/cert.pem # Public Certificate
  SSLCertificateKeyFile ssl/key.pem # Private certificate
  SSLCertificateChainFile ssl/ca.pem # CA or chain certificate

 ProxyPreserveHost On
 ProxyPass /websocket ws://192.168.0.1 # First you need to write the specific rules
 ProxyPassReverse /websocket ws://102.168.0.1
 ProxyPass / http://192.168.0.1 # Then the generic rules for the proxy.
 ProxyPassReverse / http://192.168.0.1
 

In your case, you will have to replace the ServerName, the SSL certificates location, and the destination of the proxy.
