<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>

    <highlight language="config">
Upgrade: WebSocket
Connection: Upgrade
    </highlight>


    <example><title>Proxying requests to websockets server</title>
    <highlight language="config">
ProxyPass "/ws2/"  "ws://echo.websocket.org/"
ProxyPass "/wss2/" "wss://echo.websocket.org/"
    </highlight>
    </example>

<usage>
    <p>This directive instructs the server to try to create an asynchronous tunnel. 
    If the current MPM does not support the necessary features, a synchronous 
    tunnel is used.</p>
    <note><title>Note</title><p>Async support is experimental and subject 
    to change.</p></note>

<default>ProxyWebsocketIdleTimeout 0</default>
<contextlist><context>server config</context>
<context>virtual host</context>

<usage>
    <p>This directive imposes a maximum amount of time for the tunnel to be 
    left open while idle.</p>

<usage>
    <p>If <directive>ProxyWebsocketAsync</directive> is enabled, this directive 
    controls how long the server synchronously waits for more data.</p>
