Q:

Nginx add_header Sec-WebSocket-Protocol does not work

I use nginx as proxy of my WebSocket traffic and it works great. One of my apps has a requirement to use STOMP, for that I have chosen STOMP js library, which tries to negotiate a protocol via Sec-WebSocket-Protocol header but I have troubles adding this header in the nginx response.
nginx version: nginx/1.6.2

Below is my server block:
server {
  listen 80;
  server_name mware.example.com;

  client_max_body_size 100M;
  keepalive_timeout 5;

  root /srv/applications;
  autoindex off;

  location / {
    # WebSocket
    location = /ws {
      proxy_read_timeout 10m;
      proxy_http_version 1.1;
      proxy_set_header Upgrade $http_upgrade;
      proxy_set_header Connection "upgrade";
      proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:8000/;
      proxy_redirect  http://127.0.0.1:8000/ /;

      # Custom headers
      proxy_set_header  Host            $host;
      proxy_set_header  X-Real-IP       $remote_addr;
      proxy_set_header  REMOTE_PORT     $remote_port;
      proxy_set_header  X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;

      #add_header    Sec-WebSocket-Protocol  $http_sec_websocket_protocol;
      add_header    Sec-WebSocket-Protocol  'v10.stomp, v11.stomp';
    }
  }
}

So tried adding the header via $http_sec_websocket_protocol variable as well as literally specifying it, none of this worked for me. Below is the packet capture on the localhost.

Nginx response:

You can see that Sec-WebSocket-Protocol header is missing.
On the application level I receive properly formatted packet by nginx, with custom headers added, etc.

A:

http://nginx.org/r/add_header

Adds the specified field to a response header provided that the response code equals 200, 201, 204, 206, 301, 302, 303, 304, or 307. A value can contain variables.

You response with 101 code.
Since version 1.7.5 there is always flag, but you use older version. Also you could consider to use third-party module like headers_more or lua.
