How to filter out websocket traffic
I'm trying to fix our websocket fallback code, but I can't think of an easy way to drop all websocket packets.
Our clients have a $veryexpensive fancy enterprise corporate firewalls. The firewall does deep inspection of all port 80/443 traffic, and throws away things it doesn't understand. Unfortunately, it doesn't understand the websocket handshake packets, so websockets never connect.
I don't want to buy a massively expensive piece of outdated hardware just to work on fallback code. What would be the easiest way to simulate this?
