I'm trying to configure a SignalR hub to be able to send notifications to a bunch of WPF clients over the Internet. I tried to follow the basic principles and tutorials and created WPF SignalR Server (for testing purposes only). It was placed on a server on my local network, and it looks like this:
Startup.cs
class Startup
{
public void Configuration(IAppBuilder app)
{
HubConfiguration hc = new HubConfiguration();
hc.EnableDetailedErrors = true;
app.UseCors(CorsOptions.AllowAll);
app.MapSignalR(hc);
}
}
MainWindow.xaml.cs
public IDisposable SignalR { get; set; }
const string ServerURI = "http://localhost:8554";
private void StartServer()
{
try
{
SignalR = WebApp.Start(ServerURI);
}
catch (TargetInvocationException)
{
WriteToConsole("A server is already running at " + ServerURI);
return;
}
this.Dispatcher.Invoke(() => btnStopHub.IsEnabled = true);
}
AdHocHub.cs
public class AdHocHub : Hub
{
public void Send(string data)
{
Clients.All.notifyData(data);
}
public override Task OnConnected()
{
Application.Current.Dispatcher.Invoke(() =>
((MainWindow)Application.Current.MainWindow).WriteToConsole("Client connected: " + Context.ConnectionId));
return base.OnConnected();
}
public Task OnDisconnected()
{
Application.Current.Dispatcher.Invoke(() =>
((MainWindow)Application.Current.MainWindow).WriteToConsole("Client disconnected: " + Context.ConnectionId));
return base.OnDisconnected(true);
}
}
The server starts just fine. However, when I try to connect a client to it, he refuses to give me 400 - Bad Request. If I try to go to http://192.nnn.nnn.nnn/signalr, all I get is Bad Request - Invalid Hostname. If I run the server and the client on the same computer, everything works as it should. What am I doing wrong here?
:
private async void ConnectAsync()
{
Connection = new HubConnection(ServerURI);
HubProxy = Connection.CreateHubProxy("AdHocHub");
HubProxy.On<string>("notifyData", (notifyData) => this.Dispatcher.Invoke(() => txtEvents.AppendText(notifyData.ToString())));
try
{
await Connection.Start();
}
catch (HttpRequestException ex)
{
MessageBox.Show(ex.ToString());
lblStatus.Content = "Unable to connect to server: Start server before connecting clients.";
return;
}
txtEvents.AppendText("Connected to server and listening...");
}
URI IP-, TargetInvocationException, .
