Thanks Eric for the response, > Do you want to proxy websockets or terminate websockets in Apache? What's the preferable approach ? Should we integrate the module to the Apache Server or proxy the connection to a dedicated websocket server ?
> This doesn't really make much sense as HTTP uses persistent connections. I quote this from stackoverflow http://stackoverflow.com/questions/11334320/using-websocket-on-apache-server "However, the fundamental problem is that Apache wasn't built with maintaining many persistent connections in mind. It, along with PHP, is built on the idea that requests are made and responses are quickly sent back. This means that resources can very quickly be used up if you are holding requests open and you're going to need to look into horizontal scaling pretty quickly." So it is possible for Apache Architecture to add another module for handling Websocket ? Without sacrificing the performance and scalabilty ? Sorry for the question, i'm still new to Apache and very interested knowing how it can accomodate websocket.
