SignalR - Set ClientID Manually

Question

I want to be able to have individual users send messages to each other using SignalR, therefore I need to send to a Specific Client ID. How can I define the client ID for a spec

Answer 1

The SignalR Client Side documentation outlines the following:

connection.id - Gets or sets the client id for the current connection

This certainly indicates that one should be able to set the clientID client side, without all the above plumbing. Is this not working? If working, how would this line of code look like?
