Does the Azure Application Gateway support websockets

I've setup an azure application gateway with two backend machines. The gateway has cookie affinity enabled and sockjs is used.

The browser initiates a websocket connection for which it receives an '101 Switching Protocols' response. However there is no communication over the websockets and sockjs falls back to long polling.

Does the azure application gateway support websockets? Is some configuration required to enable websockets?

Websocket support is being worked on and will be available shortly.

Update: I asked what shortly meant: the feature is planned for end May.

Websocket is now supported on Application Gateway.
