Websocket proxy

[António P. P. Almeida]

At the http level:

map $http_upgrade $connection_upgrade {
    default upgrade;
    ''      close;
}

map $connection_upgrade $proxy_upstream_port {
    upgrade 81;
    close 80;
}

Then at the location do:

 location / {
     proxy_http_version 1.1;
     proxy_set_header Upgrade $http_upgrade;
     proxy_set_header Connection $connection_upgrade;
     proxy_pass http://localhost:$proxy_upstream_port;
 }
