-parameter in the <code class="directive"><a href="../mod/mod_proxy.html#proxypass">ProxyPass</a></code>
-directive to allow the module to accept other protocol.
-NONE means you bypass the check for the header but still upgrade to WebSocket.
-ANY means that <code>Upgrade</code> will read in the request headers and use
-in the response <code>Upgrade</code></p>
+<p>
+The module can also be used to upgrade to other protocols than WebSocket, by setting
+the <var><a href="mod_proxy.html#upgrade">upgrade</a></var> parameter in the
+<code class="directive"><a href="../mod/mod_proxy.html#proxypass">ProxyPass</a></code>
+directive to some custom protocol name.
+Special <code>upgrade=NONE</code> and <code>upgrade=ANY</code> values may be used for
+testing/forcing the upgrade but they are <strong>not recommended</strong> in production for
+security reasons.
+<code>NONE</code> means that the check for the header is omitted but still the upgrade/tunneling to
+WebSocket always happens.
+<code>ANY</code> means that the upgrade/tunneling will happen using any protocol asked by the client.
