Description Miroslav Lachman 2018-07-23 13:27:21 UTC 
I tired to setup Apache wit ProxyPass to websockets but even if all required modules are loaded it does not work and I see this in log:

AH01144: No protocol handler was valid for the URL /socket.io/ (scheme 'ws'). If you are using a DSO version of mod_proxy, make sure the proxy submodules are included in the configuration using LoadModule.


# httpd -M | grep proxy
 proxy_module (shared)
 proxy_http_module (shared)
 proxy_fcgi_module (shared)
 proxy_wstunnel_module (shared)

The line in VirtualHost config is following:

    ProxyPass /         ws://localhost:10001/

I found a similar problem report for Debian.

Is there a way to fix it for FreeBSD?

Sorry for the noise. 
THe module is working, but the logged message is misleading. This error is printed in case the proxy_wstunnel received non-websocket request. For example plain HTTP request is redirected by ProxyPass to ws://, then you will get this error message. Very strange behaviour.
