Can't configure Nginx as Reverse Proxy for WebSocket

My Node.js application is running on localhost:8080 These are the server configuration files:var express = require('express'); var http = require('http'); var app = express(); var WS = require('ws'); var config = require('./config/main'); var Client = require('./client'); // HTTP var server = http.createServer(app); app.use(express.static(__dirname + '/../client/build/')); server.listen(config.httpPort, function() { console.info('HTTP listening on *:' + config.httpPort); }); // WebSocket var ws = new WS.Server({server: server}); console.info('Websocket server created'); ws.on('connection', function(ws) { var client = new Client(ws); console.log('New conection:', client.id); }); andmodule.exports = { /* HTTP PORT */ httpPort: process.env.PORT || 8080, /* WebSocket PORT */ wsPort: process.env.PORT || 8081 }; So I am trying to run it using the Nginx's reverse proxy:location /myapp { proxy_pass http://localhost:8080/; proxy_set_header Upgrade $http_upgrade; proxy_set_header Connection "upgrade"; } Now, when I link to localhost/myapp the page appears normally, with all the static files loaded, but it seems like there is no WebSocket connection. PS: I am using Nginx V 1.11.7Is there something wrong in the configuration or did I miss something? Thank you
