Description

This should be straightforward, the library that betwixt is using (http-proxy) has websocket support that looks easy to add. It might be challenging though to fit that code into the current codebase though.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Explore the existing codebase to understand how HTTP proxying is implemented, then integrate WebSocket support using the http proxy library's websocket functionality. Start by reading the documentation for http proxy's websocket option and identify the entry points in the current proxy handler.
