This is a simple example on how to use node-http-proxy to handle websockets in a Hapi setup. Keep in mind, that this setup bypasses the Hapi stack completely, leaving your Websocket endpoint exposed. The upgrade request doesn't go through the Hapi Request lifecycle.

1. cd to the root of this project.
2. Start the upstream Websocket server with node upstream.js
3. Start the proxy while running the upstream node proxy.js
4. Start a websocket client while running both, the upstream and the proxy ./node_modules/ws/bin/wscat -c ws://127.0.0.1:8090

You should see "connected" on the STDOUT and the first message from the upstream "Hellow.". You can now send any messages on the STDIN and the usptream will respond with the same message (echo server).
