Nginx with websockets and http 1.1

Dear list members,

I aim to use nginx as ssl offloader position. However, I have read
some writings about websockets support is not available at nginx proxy
module. Also it says it is not possible for nginx proxy module to
negotiate in http 1.1 scheme with backend.

I want to hear your comments on the issue.

Regards,

Hello,

As far as I know Websockets is neither supported nor on the radar.
HTTP 1.1 with backend is open for tests as a patch to the http
upstream module:

Maxim (the author) is very eager to get feedback on this and a few
people seem to be using it in production without problems.

Cheers,

Antoine.
