Error during Web-socket handshake: Incorrect 'Sec-WebSocket-Accept' header value"

Question

User1164836108 posted

I am using Windows server 2019 with reverse proxy configured with ARR 3 and hosted my project with node.js and socket.io, I am redirecting the website www.mywebsite.com/project to internal address http://192.168.0.190:800.

When I try to access the website http://192.168.0.190:800 inside the server socket.io is working but when i try to access the website outside the network using external address i am getting the error "Error during Web-socket handshake: Incorrect 'Sec-WebSocket-Accept' header value"

My reverse proxy configuration

<rule name="vrp" stopProcessing="true">
 <match url="^/project/(.*)" />
 <action type="Rewrite" url="http://192.168.0.190:800/{R:1}" />
 </rule>

Help me to solve the issue.

Thanks,

Santhosh

Hi Santhosh_Periasamy,

This is not a problem of rewriting rules in a reverse proxy, but proxy server.

The task of the header Sec-WebSocket-Accept is to prevent giving the connection as opened when the response is a cached one from a proxy.

You can try to switch to HTTPS and WSS, or directly disable the caching function on ARR, the proxy cannot cache secure connections, the problem may disappear.

Best regards,
