SignalR .Net Client - Unexpected character encountered while parsing value

Question

I\'m trying to set up a .Net client to send messages to my signalR hub from my service layer. I\'m following this guide: http://www.asp.net/signalr/overview/signalr-20/hubs-api

Answer 1

When I was getting this message, it was because when pointing to the URL of the server I used HTTP instead of HTTPS:

using (var hubConnection = new HubConnection("http://someurl.com"))
{
    var hubProxy = hubConnection.CreateHubProxy("smsHub");
    await hubConnection.Start();
    await hubProxy.Invoke(....);
}

Pointing to the HTTPS url resolved the issue.
