I was trying SignalR on Owin Self host. Everything works file but SignalR falls back to server send event instead of using WebSockets.
I know IIS 7.5 (Windows 7) does not support websockets but since this is Owin Self host, I was under impression that it is not dependent on IIS and HTTP.sys and websockets should work.
Even Scott Hanselman commented on below link that with OWIN we can do WebSockets anywhere:

Does anyone how how to do true websockets with SignalR (or any other approach) and Owin running on Windows 7?
