I'm trying to deploy a Rails 5.1.4 application to AWS Elastic Beanstalk and cannot get ActionCable to work. There appears to be a problem with upgrading the HTTP connection to a WebSocket, as per the Rails logs:
I, [2017-11-29T20:53:23.533734 #6275] INFO -- : [014bad33-65a1-489e-9108-dc4157965491] Started GET "/cable" for 24.192.57.23 at 2017-11-29 20:53:23 +0000

The Elastic Beanstalk configuration uses an ALB (not an ELB) which is supposed to work with WebSockets out-of-the-box.
I've tried using an ELB with TCP instead of HTTP, configuring nginx reverse proxy , and modifying application settings all without success. There seems to be consensus around the reverse proxy but I can't seem to get the incantation correct.
Please help!
