register websockets with consul tags

[cookandy]

Is it possible to register a websocket rule in fabio using consul tags - i.e. proto-ws? It didn't seem to work for me.

Please have a look here: https://github.com/eBay/fabio#websockets

Currently, the implementation detects the protocol based on the presence of the Upgrade: websocket header in the request. So if your backend accepts websockets on /foo register urlprefix-/foo and it should just work.

Please let me know if it doesn't

I'm actually trying to use TCP proxying, but it doesn't look like Fabio support it yet. I thought maybe websockets would work for TCP connections, but I'm not sure that is true. In the case of my TCP connections, we won't be able to change the header before the request is sent - so I guess websockets won't work. I guess what I really need is TCP proxying. WDYT?

Yeah. Saw the issue on PanteraS. Not yet. I've got some time scheduled to work on Fabio so maybe I find time to squeeze it in. Pls subscribe to #1

Thanks - I will watch for updates.
