SignalR - How do I disable WebSockets

Question

I upgraded to .NET 4.5, now SignalR seems insistent on using WebSockets in Firefox/Chrome - even though I\'m only on Windows 7 which doesn\'t have a WebSocket Server.

In order to disable a transport on the server side, you must use something like this:

using Microsoft.AspNet.SignalR;
using Microsoft.AspNet.SignalR.Transports;
using Owin;
namespace MyApplication
{
    public static class Startup
    {
        public static void ConfigureSignalR(IAppBuilder app)
        {
            // If using the global dependency resolver
            TurnOfForeverFrame(GlobalHost.DependencyResolver);
            app.MapSignalR();
        }
        public static void TurnOfForeverFrame(IDependencyResolver resolver)
        {
            var transportManager = resolver.Resolve() as TransportManager;
            transportManager.Remove("foreverFrame");
        }
    }
}

The @reach4thelasers' solution only disable it in the client, but the client could re-enable the transport and connect.
