将 .NET SignalR 客户端（Windows XP/.NET framework 4.0）连接到 signalR v2 服务器

Question

Can I connect a .NET SignalR C# client (Windows XP/.NET framework 4.0) to a signalR v2 server (ASP.NET, SignalR hosted on Mono)?

I know I won't be able to use Websockets from Windows XP but if this setup is possible I will benefit by being able to connect newer Windows clients (Windwos 8+) using Websockets.

I think the answer to my question is that it is possible to connect a .NET SignalR client (Windows XP/.NET framework 4.0) to a signalR v2 server.

As described here : "If the version of SignalR that you have on the client is different from the version that you have on the server, SignalR is often able to adapt to the difference. For example, a server running SignalR version 2 will support clients that have 1.1.x installed as well as clients that have version 2 installed."

Also, as @sanchezis suggests here , version 1.2.2 of SignalR is supported in .NET framework 4 which can be installed in Windows XP.
