3.12.0 Unable to set Vite HMR protocol

[cmd430]

Currently if you use a reverse proxy with https the Vite HMR websocket connection fails to connect as it always tries to use ws protocol and cannot be overridden with the following config

export default defineNuxtConfig({
  ...
  vite: {
    server: {
      hmr: { protocol: 'wss' }
    }
  }
})

I have a possible solution I commented in that issue found here nuxt/nuxt#27558 (comment)
