Thanks anefta, I had seen that post along with https://forum.djangoproject.com/t/secure-websocket-with-django/37914 and several others but I don’t think that’s the problem. The connection is making it to Apache via wss but the proxy to Daphne should be ws from what I understand and the connection is hitting Daphne. You could be right, I did consider this but I don’t have access to the security cert that Apache is connect with as it’s handled by a third party.
