Instead of jumping on an old thread I decided to repost as a separate question.
Should proxying requests from wss:// to an apache tomcat server using wss:// work? From the logs (included below) it appears that the ws proxy tunnel is picking up and making the connection, but then it disconnects. I've tried to add some logging to tomcat, but I am not seeing the request hit the tomcat server, should this work or is there something else that needs to be done config wise (also included below)?
