[Privoxy-users] WebSocket in Privoxy

[ZzZombo]

When I used to use Privoxy, I had to make sure it doesn't attempt to 
buffer or modify the "body" of the tunnel in any way, shape or form. 
Then it started to proxy WS connections correctly.

You have to remove pretty much all filtering rules for them, 
interestingly this used to happen even if you do not decipher TLS, but 
such rules were active for such secure connection.
