   I have to ask, I'm sorry. #fedihelp

   We're configuring a reverse proxy using Apache with this config https://github.com/owntracks/quicksetup/blob/main/files/apache/owntracks.conf.j2

   All works fine, except two pages that use Web Sockets. They too connect, get their data, but after roughly 60 seconds Safari (macOS, iPadOS, iOS) re-prompt for basic auth credentials. Chrome/Firefox don't.

   Using nginx with equivalent config surfaces exact same behaviour. I've read the WHOLE INTERNET and believe it's my configuration fault.

   What am I doing wrong?

     @jpmens is the authentication send to the backend server?
     I have a Nginx proxy which handles basic authentication and i needed to remove the headers from the upstream request to not confuse the service running there.

     proxy_set_header Authorization "";

     @ronnie_bonkers the backend server doesn't do anything with the Authorization header. Good point though, thanks.
