Well, ATS doesn't have a "pass through" mode in HTTP afaik (it.s all
request / response based, like HTTP is). There is however the CONNECT
method, but websockets doesn't use that afaik. With CONNECT, it becomes
basically a simple pass-through on the TCP level.
I have a vague recollection of someone looking at this before... I'm
wondering if it'd be possible for a plugin to detect an incoming request
as an upgrade to websockets, and turn it into a CONNECT request ? hmmmm.
