I misunderstood, indeed ! I think proposition 2 it equivalent to proposition 3 because if websocket does not forward haproxy instructions, there is no way to retrieve back this information down the chain:

browser -> haproxy (http port, adds http header x-forwarded-from) -> websocket (currently discards information) -> ...whatever comes after does not have the information anymore ?

I hope contributing as guinea pig for echicken helps. The spec of proxy_protool does not look so long, but I have never implemented such network specs before so Iÿam not sure if my intuition is correct there.
