I'm trying to integrate the websocket into existing application.
Based on my search, i found a websocket module to do this, but it isn't updated yet.
https://github.com/disconnect/apache-websocket.
Any chance that the module will be included in Apache ?
Also i found in StackOverflow conversation that Apache httpd wasn't design to maintain persistent connection, is that true ?
Using WebSocket on Apache server
Should continue using Apache websocket module or using separate websocket server ?
Thanks
Last time I checked, the websocket module for Apache was forwarding any incomming WS connection to a shared library which you have to implement yourself.
When you have an application which listens to normal sockets and you want it to be accessible through websockets, Websockify could be your solution.

I researched about any plugin/module WSGI for Oracle WebLogic 12c that allows me run a python flask app, with no success.
The reason for why i need to run from WebLogic 12c, it's because i need to use the SSL certfied living there.
Researching, i found many web server (Apache, Gunicorn, etc) can act as proxy of WebLogic, here is an example, where Nginx receive all the requests with SSL and then passed them to WebLogic:
https://medium.com/#Dracontis/nginx-as-proxy-for-weblogic-with-ssl-c7e1076e2c0c
So, i wonder if there is a manner to invert this order? I mean, WebLogic receive all the requests (safely because of SSL certified) and then pass them to any web server with the WSGI standard.
Thanks in advance.
I didn't find a sort of solution that accomplished the topic above. However, in case someone needs implements this topology here is what i did:
I've installed an Oracle HTTP Server (OHS) and creating a wallet for the SSL certified, in certain way in which the OHS can receive the requests secure, then inside the OHS with specific setting achieve forward the request to the Apache running with the module WSGI.
I'm currently using an AJP proxy through apache to tomcat 8. I don't want to reason why I'm using AJP, but the basics are that Apache site outside the firewall while tomcat is inside the firewall with multiple apps being virtual hosted through the one apache instance.
A component to the app has been added with the need for websockets. I know that our current AJP implementation will not support websockets, however I'm looking for an alternative that someone else has confirmed working, i.e. different apache module, I'm using mod_proxy_ajp.
If there is no known module to allow this to work does anyone know of any works in progress for an enhancement to any of the existing modules or a new module?
FWIW I'm using spring4 websocket support with a STOMP endpoint and SockJS.
At the time of your question there is no solution for WebSocket support via AJP.
Apache does have mod_proxy_wstunnel but this support proxying of WebSocket using the HTTP protocol itself to the backend server. AJP work differently.

I want to write a small back-end REST server using Play! Framework 2.1.3. This server will only serve WS requests, and all communication to it must be made over SSL. For this reason, I don't want to have an HTTP port open for this server at all.
I've seen this question regarding SSL on various Play! branches, and according to the linked discussion, the only way to open SSL port (which worked for me) is to add JAVA_OPTS before running the server, like so:
JAVA_OPTS=-Dhttps.port=9443 play run
This setting opens both HTTP and HTTPS ports for communication.
My questions are:
Is it possible to open the server only for SSL communication? How?
Is there a configuration file where I put this setting?
Thanks!
This is super easy with Play 2.2, not sure it works on 2.1.3, I didn't see it in the 2.1.x docs...but was in the 2.2.x docs...so give it a shot, it might be implemented.
Throw this in your configuration file :
http.port=disabled
Or you could run it with the command line option :
-Dhttp.port=disabled

The most part of my website is delivered with PHP and Apache,
which works just fine.
However I want to use Websocket for a page (or multiple pages).
For the Websocket communication I want to use golang.
To not let the clients run into any firewall problems Websocket should use the normal webport.
(443 that is in this case - for the SSL version of Websocket).
Because Apache is already listening on that port, I need it to forward Websocket requests (or requests to a specific URL) to my golang program.
(A single golang program must listen to all incoming websocket connections, to allow for easy communication between them.)
Is there a way to achieve that?
one of the web servers must proxy for the other. So you need to either configure Apache to proxy requests to your Golang program, or incorporate a reverse proxy into your golang program to deal with the Apache content.
It's probably easier to configure Apache as a proxy than include the reverse proxy into your Golang code, but there is a standard lib for it: http://golang.org/pkg/net/http/httputil/
I want to know which all modules in apache server supports wsman profile completly?
Have mod_wsman module for configuring openwsman web service in apache.
You can download source code from this link .https://github.com/Openwsman/mod_wsman
make , install and configure it in apache.
mod_wsman is openwsman-server but without the http stack.
It's an Apache plugin, so you can use the Apache http stack to handle
requests and pass them to the openwsman-server backend for processing.
mod_wsman is not very well maintained.
Assuming by wsman you mean WS-Management...
Of the standard modules that ship with Apache Web Server (httpd). None.
Apache Tomcat also has no support for this.
