My guess is that it would if it were told to use a proxy for ws. Keep in mind that when I say proxy, I do not mean to include "reverse proxy". A reverse proxy of websockets is just an implementation of websockets or a tunnel. I consider both to be pretty dangerous and better done in a special-purpose server rather than as a child of Apache httpd. ....Roy
