For my experiment I didn't bother figuring that out. But when I deployed my example app I did change it to wss://app-url.com/.redwood/functions/ws to get around CORS limitations (where .redwood/functions/ is proxied to my api side by my hosting setup, just like all graphql requests are proxied)

Thanks for the answer. Another question, do you know why wss doesn't pass authentification token into backend handler, so we can't authentificate the request?
