Does anyone have experience running the SignalR .net client on Mono? I am considering this for a process that I need to run cross platform (which needs to connect to a internet hosted SignalR Hub).
SignalR supports full duplex communication that allows the client and server to transfer data back and forth.
SignalR takes advantage of WebSocket, an HTML5 API that enables bi-directional communication between the browser and server. SignalR will use WebSockets under the covers when it's available, and gracefully fall back to other techniques and technologies when it isn't, while the application code remains the same.
SignalR can be used to add any sort of "real-time" web functionality to your ASP.NET application. While chat is often used as an example, you can do a whole lot more. Any time a user refreshes a web page to see new data, or the page implements long polling to retrieve new data, it is a candidate for using SignalR.
To enhance these protocols, Microsoft ASP.NET developed SignalR, a software library that utilizes traditional HTTP connections that allow real-time connectivity between server and clients. Microsoft developed an API that manages the connectivity between clients and servers automatically.
I have created a sample project with signalr client working under mono framework:

I checked it with one of my websites and it works fine.
