Is there any way to proxy both http and websocket on one apache?

[angelfall]

Hey everyone!

I want to achieve the following scenario.

There is only one application on a Jboss server.

when accessing the root url like "http://JbossIP/" in a browser, i get a html with two button.

One button will use a http connection to do something.

The other will use a websocket connection to do something.

All works well when the connection is between client and jboss server.

When use apache with mod_cluster for load balancing, it does not work as i wish.

Is there any way to proxy both http and websocket on one apache, and how to configure?

Thank you

mod_proxy_wstunnel should allow to do that.

mod_proxy_wstunnel supports websocket, and mod_proxy_http and mod_proxy_ajp support http.

when a websocket request and a http request come into apache with modcluster,

how can i configure to proxy them to the backends with the same protocol as coming in?

may be this is a strange scenario.

There is a Jboss server(ip:1.1.1.1),supported websocket and http in different url.

access Jboss server like following:

http://1.1.1.1/Servlet/http

ws://1.1.1.1/Servlet/ws

when i use apache(ip:2.2.2.2) with modclucter for loadbalancing, problem comes.

if accessing http://2.2.2.2/Servlet/http success, accessing ws://2.2.2.2/Servlet/ws will fail.

if accessing ws://2.2.2.2/Servlet/ws success, accessing http://2.2.2.2/Servlet/http will fail.

It seems that apache with modclucter can not proxy http and websocket request at same time.

Wouldn't it help to distinguish between your ws and http servlets with a ProxyPassMatch directive?

thanks for you suggesstion.

I have tried ProxyPassMatch and ProxyPass, but it didn't help me.

I look up the document and source code of modcluster, and find that ProxyPassMatch and ProxyPass can only be use like:

"ProxyPassMatch regex !"
