I'm facing a strange issue in deploying Django app with Nginx, Daphne and Gunicorn.
As of now, I have successfully deployed my Django app.
My HTTP requests are handled by Gunicorn, and WSS requests are handled by Daphne, which is meant to happen.
Consider a scenario, where I send an HTTP request to Gunicorn, and Django needs to send a message back via channels. How do I do that?
For example, if I add a post via HTTP POST request, and want to send a notification via channels to all the open channels (which I have a list of) how do I make Django send back a channel message through Daphne, even when the request was HTTP in the first place received through Gunicorn?
The request flow that I need is:
Client > HTTP > NGINX > GUNICORN > DJANGO > Do some processing > Send notification to all open channels via WSS > Send HTTP RESPONSE OK STATUS=200 to client
I used this guide to deploy
https://github.com/mitchtabian/HOWTO-django-channels-daphne/blob/master/README.md
Everything is working fine except I don't receive WSS messages on the client WebSocket listener, when I send a HTTP request to Gunicorn, but when I send HTTP request to Daphne I get a WSS response successfully
