+1, also running into this

This appears due to trying to utilize an SSL on the server. I received the same message. Have you guys found a way around this? Are you also utilizing nginx in your projects?

When attempting a proxy_pass, I then receive a new error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/lib/python3.6/socketserver.py", line 721, in __init__
    self.handle()
  File "/home/damian/hopemud/websocket_server/websocket_server.py", line 199, in handle
    self.handshake()
  File "/home/damian/hopemud/websocket_server/websocket_server.py", line 337, in handshake
    assert headers['upgrade'].lower() == 'websocket'
KeyError: 'upgrade'

I had the same error
I have proxied the websocket through apache, that manages ssl , with the following in VirtualHost (the websocket server runs on port 13100)

<VirtualHost :443>
...
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP:UPGRADE} ^WebSocket$ [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP:CONNECTION} Upgrade$ [NC]
RewriteRule . ws://yourserver.com:13100%{REQUEST_URI} [P]
...

and my client simply connects to
wss://yourserver.com

I accidentally tried to connect through 'wss' to my local server, which hadn't any certificates and that was causing this error.
Changing to 'ws' protocol resolved this
