<status>Extension</status>
<identifier>proxy_wstunnel_module</identifier>
<compatibility>Available in httpd 2.4.5 and later</compatibility>
<summary>
<p>This module <em>requires</em> the service of <module
>mod_proxy</module>. It provides support for the tunnelling of web
socket connections to a backend websockets server. The connection
is automagically upgraded to a websocket connection:</p>
