The haproxy websocket connection should forward the given path(s) to the 
websocket port on synchronet as a tcp connection... or upcycle... I 
don't know if haproxy supports acting as a websocket<->tcp gateway directly.

I've tried to make a specific path or websocket connection upgrade work 
to reverse-proxy to a different port, but it doesn't want to work 
correctly... kind of wish that websocket connection 
support/configuration was directly in the sbbs http service itself, 
which would make that part much easier to work with.
