Does incapsula support websockets?

Question

I have an email from Incapsula explaining they don't support websockets. I find this strange to say the least, and their support rep just copy pasted a wikipedia article (they don't even seem to know what it is).

I'm getting all sort of 'malformed' requests when I try to run websockets with their service, though.

since you didn't get any answer till now, I'll give you tip... Test! — Hawili, May 16 '13 at 01:08

Sorry to revive an old topic, but - in the interest of keeping things up-to-date - Incapsula does now supports websockets.

Thank you! I just switched away from CloudFlare for this. – Henry Boldizsar Jul 23 '14 at 09:38

I would guess that, given

An email saying websockets aren't supported
Errors when you try to use websockets

that Incapsula doesn't support websockets. Whatever it is you're trying to do, you'll need to do it a different way (or change CDNs).

I've just tried without Incapsula, and it worked a treat. Incapsula doesn't support websockets, meaning you may be able to run long polling type tricks through socketIO but that's about it. Very disappointing! – Stephan Tual May 16 '13 at 14:29
