As already proposed in [1], shouldn't mod_proxy_wstunnel should
DECLINE[D] the request if it is not an "Upgrade: WebSocket" one?

This could possibly simplify the configuration above to:
  ProxyPass / ws://127.0.0.1:9001/
  ProxyPass / http://127.0.0.1:9001/

The patch would be something like:

Yes, that's better/more efficient (rfc 6455 mandates "Connection:
upgrade" though).
Thanks, commited in r1674632.

+1, but why not skip right to the Upgrade: websocket check?
