Comment:

 I can now confirm that Varnish does definitely not support HTML5
 Websockets.
 I have tested pywebsocket (http://code.google.com/p/pywebsocket/) using
 Varnish
 as a proxy, and it doesn't work, reporting "Header Upgrade is not
 defined".

 I would really like to see support for HTML5 Websockets in Varnish. This
 is a feature
 which will be more and more common, when Firefox 4, Safari and Google
 Chrome all support Websockets.

 This is the error message reported by pywebsocket:

 ERROR:mod_pywebsocket.handshake:Handshake error: Header Upgrade is not
 defined
 [2010-10-02 14:10:19,698] [ERROR] mod_pywebsocket.handshake: Handshake
 error: Header Upgrade is not defined
