Passenger on Apache doesn't support the Rack Hijack API?

[ylluminate]

We're having an issue wherein Nginx is working, but Apache is not for the Rack Hijack API. voltrb/volt#192 (comment)

Can you confirm this @FooBarWidget or can we provide some additional information that will help to resolve this problem?

Hijacking in Apache should work, except if you're hijacking the socket for the purpose of WebSockets (because of #1202). Can you provide a reproducible example that highlights your problem?

Okay, so yes, it is indeed an issue with websockets and apache in this case. I haven't had a chance to dig through too much. How soon are we looking at in terms of seeing a resolution to #1202? I see a reference there for 5.0.5 and 5.1.0 on this issue...

Not very soon. My best guess would be that we can start working on that half a year from now.

There are workarounds though. You can run your app in Passenger Standalone (preferably with the builtin engine for optimal performance, though the Nginx engine works too) and setup a reverse proxy to Apache using mod_proxy.
