SignalR - Detect Transport Method for a Connection on Server Side

Can you discern on the server side which transport method is being used for a given SignalR connection? (WebSockets, SSE, long polling, etc.?)

For ASP.NET SignalR version 2.0, you can use $.connection.hub.transport.name to print out the name of the transport. It will evaluate to "serverSentEvents" and other transports.

Inside a Hub you can detect the transport being used by looking at the request's query string:

Context.QueryString["transport"]

This will evaluate to "webSockets", "serverSentEvents", "foreverFrame" or "longPolling".

Ideally your code should not depend on which transport is being used since SignalR abstracts that for you. However, this could be useful for logging and such.
