Hi Alex,

Did you ever have any success with this ?

I have been trying different combos of settings in nginx to get it to handle WS connections to my golang backends, but no luck for me :(

I am getting the golang process to receive the upgrade request, which it returns a http.StatusOK on, but the client only gets an error. Was thinking it might be something specific to the http wrapper libs I am using on the go backend. Dont know.

I am using labstack/echo for my http serving needs.

Would love to hear how you went getting websockets working through nginx to a golang backend.

Cheers

Just ran into this same issue. The post here solved my problems with nothing but a copy and paste. I'm looking into what all the settings mean now.
