In-Depth Information
Using WebSocket Secure (WSS) increases the odds that connections will succeed
even when there are middleboxes on the network performing transparent inspection and
modification of outgoing connections.
Figure
8-3
further illustrates the cases where the WebSocket connection may or
may not succeed depending on a combination of variables such as plain WebSocket
Protocol vs. WebSocket Secure and explicit proxy configuration as well as transparent
proxy servers.
Figure 8-3.
How WebSocket interacts with proxy servers
As you can see in Figure
8-3
, using WSS can dramatically increase the chances that
your WebSocket connection will succeed, even when the traffic has to traverse explicit
and transparent proxies.
