I am using the Nginx v1.3.14 server proxy. I am sending the Websocket  
HTTP connection request “CONNECT HostName:Port HTTP/1.1” packet to the  
proxy from the client. It responds with an http-alt ack packet. How  
can I configure the proxy to return the HTTP reply “HTTP/1.1 200”? I  
also do not see in Wireshark trace the proxy attempting to establish a  
TCP connection with the Websocket server.
