Hallo, I'm trying to use hiawatha as a reverse proxy for GateOne (is an HTML5-powered terminal emulator and SSH client). If I connect directly GateOne works.

Hiawatha version: Hiawatha v9.12, cache, IPv6, Monitor, reverse proxy, SSL (1.3.10), Tomahawk, URL toolkit, XSLT
Operating System: Debian Wheezy on a RaspberryPi B

Hiawatha is working fine for other sites (not proxyfied). This is my virtualhost configuration:

VirtualHost {
        Hostname = gate.domain.com
        ReverseProxy .* https://192.168.1.100:8001/ 30
        WebsiteRoot = /var/www/hiawatha
}

When I try to access GateOne:

The WebSocket connection was closed. Will attempt to reconnect every 5 seconds...
NOTE: Some web proxies do not work properly with WebSockets.

And then the tab return to the previous page (or the default page if gateone is the first link I tried).

By the way why even for a reverseproxy hiawatha want a websiteroot?

Thanks, Pietro.
PS: any suggestion for documentation for using hiawatha for owncloud?

Hiawatha's reverse proxy does indeed not support websockets.

The WebsiteRoot is required for every virtual host. It's because it's too much trouble to determine if there might be a URL that does not match with a reverse proxy configuration line. For those, Hiawatha needs to know where to look. Simply point them to an empty directory.

OK, I see. Any chance to support websockets for the near future?

Thanks.
