Proxy websockets in dev server

[Ajayneethikannan]

The issue is that,

1. ws URLs are proxied as 'http://' URLs
2. not able to proxy ws connections in development without external libraries such react.io-connect (which as far as I tested using long-polling)

Solutions for these would be great.

Just wanted to ask if you are sure about this? My memory is a little foggy but iirc, @pradumangoyal and I were testing websockets (with "ping-pong") on my development server and it was working fine.

@dhruvkb I think that was django template-based. The one you made initially?

[dhruvkb]

Yeah the very first one. Was that made in Django templates?

I think maybe there is some issue in the webpack config 😅, I remember @algomaster99 facing some issues with WebSocket proxy while working on fac app publish

@Ajayneethikannan yeah, I couldn't simply use /ws/do-something. Had to write the full absolute URL with ws:// mentioned.
