We have a .NET client, which use SignalR to call Server method, but the parameter seems very big, for such scenario how to fix it?

Client code:

public async Task FooAsync()
{
var hubConnection = new HubConnection(...);
await hubConnection.Start();

var hubProxy = hubConnection.CreateHubProcx("ValueHub");
//the content is very long, about 11776065 bytes (11MB)
var content = File.ReadAllText(...);
hubProxy.Invoke("Send", content);
...
}

Server code:

[HubName("ValueHub")]
public class ValueHub : Hub
{
public void Send(string json)
{

}
}

From the exception stack and source code, I found the SignalR internally use HttpClient with the FormUrlEncodedContent type HttpContent, and maybe the limitation came from here.

System.UriFormatException was unhandled
HResult=-2146233033
Message=Invalid URI: The Uri string is too long.
Source=System
StackTrace:
at System.UriHelper.EscapeString(String input, Int32 start, Int32 end, Char[] dest, Int32& destPos, Boolean isUriString, Char force1, Char force2, Char rsvd)

at Microsoft.AspNet.SignalR.Client.Hubs.HubProxy.Invoke[T](String method, Object[] args)
at Microsoft.AspNet.SignalR.Client.Hubs.HubProxy.Invoke(String method, Object[] args)

Any good suggestions over this problem?
 
That is C# code and this is a VB forum. You should post at our C# sister site instead. Whether posting here or there, please format your post for best readability, when means formatting code as code and error messages as quotes.
