After authentication with auth I get a 401 timeut on socket proxy

Description

I use nginx as a ssl proxy with a meteor/node.js app
Site is still in development so I added a password to server block in nginx

auth_basic "Restricted";
auth_basic_user_file /path/to/bla;

After login I get in the Chrome console:
WebSocket connection to 'wss://my.domain/sockjs/517/i_pzq4lx/websocket' failed: Unexpected response code: 401

These errors go away when I delete the authentication. Is this a bug?

This is a bug, but not in nginx. As per configuration and HTTP protocol, nginx responds with "401 Authentication required" to a request without auth credentials (also outlined in the WebSocket protocol specification, RFC6455). Your browser can't handle this though, and reports an error.

Relevant issue in Chrome's issue tracker seems to be already here.
