Upgrade: WebSocket
Connection: Upgrade

Proxying requests to a websockets server like echo.websocket.org can be done using the ProxyPass directive:

ProxyPass "/ws2/"  "ws://echo.websocket.org/"
ProxyPass "/wss2/" "wss://echo.websocket.org/"

Load balancing for multiple backends can be achieved using mod_proxy_balancer.
