Add support for proxying of Websocket connections #118

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
I am running an embedded vert.x (http://vertx.io/) instance listening to its 
own port to provide Websocket connectivity. As such it would be nice if I could 
use urlrewritefilter within my main web application to proxy websocket 
connections on port e.g. 8080 to the port vert.x is listening on (E.g. in order 
to avoid exposing an additional port to the public)

It looks like proxying of websocket connections is currently not possible with 
urlrewritefilter. Just from a very high level, this looks like a more involved 
issue as it may require using something like 

Async Http Client - https://github.com/sonatype/async-http-client or
Netty - https://netty.io/

to implement the proxying functionality.
