gollark: To be honest I'm kind of tempted to switch back to nginx, but its configuration is *also* somewhat annoying.
gollark: So I finished upgrading to caddy 2, and it hasn't resolved the websocket issue, irritatingly. I'm going to have to do more debugging on this tomorrow, because I can't really be bothered to do much more today after attempting to wrangle its somewhat annoying new config format.
gollark: This is a HTTPS server, so I need wireshark's TLS decryption feature.
gollark: Updating caddy doesn't seem to have fixed it, but I need to finish migrating some config to that still.
gollark: Yes and yes.
