Apache 2.22 Websocket Proxying on Ubuntu with mod_proxy_wstunnel

OK, so I am going to go geeky and deep on this one. But as part of my Color64 BBS project I needed to use a WebSocket proxy tunnel to the Color64 BBS software. It turns out Ubuntu isn’t up to the newest version of Apache. A little Googling and I came across this post.

Edit: Ubuntu may have upgraded Apache to allow for WebSocket Proxies. So I am simply posting this as a reference at this point until I update and confirm that these steps aren’t needed.
