For the record (after private discussion with Adam), it seems that a
configuration like the below would work for http(s) and ws(s) on the
same URL:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP:Upgrade} "(?i)websocket"
RewriteRule ^/(.*)$ wss://backend/$1 [P]
ProxyPass / https://backend/
Actually it didn't work for him because of other app issues (Upgrade
missing), but httpd behaved correctly with this.
