Web Socket Support for Signalr connection in Aptify Web

Aptify 6.2 provides support for web socket connections when deploying applications on Azure. To know more about Web sockets, click here.

SignalR uses the new WebSocket transport where available and falls back to older transports where necessary. While it is possible to develop apps using WebSocket directly, using SignalR saves time and effort by providing much of the required functionality. Most importantly, this means that you can code your app to take advantage of WebSocket without having to worry about creating a separate code path for older clients. SignalR also shields you from having to worry about updates to WebSocket, since SignalR is updated to support changes in the underlying transport, providing your application a consistent interface across versions of WebSocket.

CSRF support in Aptify Web
