Big deal. I can use it seamlessly with Meteor.

That was possible before with a separate subdomain for DDP/WS. 1. export DDP_DEFAULT_CONNECTION_URL="http(s)://ws.domain.tld" 2. disable CloudFlare proxy (switch to "grey cloud") for that subdomain.

Except if you are behind a restrictive corporate firewall that filters anything not in RFC 2616.

If you are using secure web sockets (wss), this shouldn't be an issue as the traffic goes over port 443 and the proxy won't be able to tell if it's HTTP or another type of traffic.
