Description

We want to use the eleventy dev server behind a reverse proxy, utilising Nginx.

However, the websocket connection, to get notified of changes, always connects to ws://localhost and does not respect the pathPrefix. All other files are served from the pathPrefix path correctly.

What do you think about using the pathPrefix for ws connections as well?

Research direction

Start by tracing the dev server's websocket connection setup and how pathPrefix is applied to other served files. Reproduce the connection through an Nginx reverse proxy, then verify that reload notifications connect and function under the configured pathPrefix.
