Guys,

First off - awesome work!

We're making use of IConnectionManager.GetConnection() to obtain a connection from outside the SignalR "pipeline" however as this returns IConnection rather than an instance of T we can't perform a SendToGroup etc.

We've worked around this currently by duplicating the implementation of SendToGroup including CreateQualifiedName and marking it with a big // HACK comment.

Wondering whether there's a particular architectural reason why you get IConnection from this method and what you would recommend we do in this case.

Thanks,
Derek
