Question

When I connect to signalR hosted in same virtual directory, I get data via websocket transport. But in case of cross domain, long polling is getting used as a transport.

Here browser compatibility is not an issue as I am trying in Chrome browser.

What I can do to use websocket as a transport in case of cross domain.

I have tried every possible solution available on net, including available at signalR wiki.

Thanks David for answering my question in the comments:

Because only IIS8 supports websockets and neither SSE or ForeverFrame works cross domain so you’re stuck with long polling –
