Socket (full-duplex) support in addition to HTTP
Having the ability to regulate and monitor HTTP services with API Management is great. Wouldn't it also make sense to offer the same for web sockets (or SignalR hubs, etc.) so we can let devs hookup into stream of events (live-data) instead of polling with REST calls?

Please can you consider adding this feature. It would allow us to standardise everything behind APIM and make our solution that bit easier.

websockets is a great feature, we need it. please add support for websockets. more and more CDN support websockets nowadays, why Azure can't provide support for this feature?

This would make life easier instead of having to host a SignalR hub elsewhere.

Any updates Microsoft? Or do we need to switch to AWS, because they allow websockets just fine.

I think the use case is simple. We have an API that uses SignalR and it needs to be behind a gateway to fit the current infra architecture. Our enterprise uses APIM as a gateway and would rather not have to stand up application gateway separately and incur that added cost.

Because it's not a gateway.

As well as supporting websockets, it would would be better for the service to break the connection between the client and hosting service. At the API Gateway level we should be able to inject rules for checking format, security rules and possibly re connection logic as needed.
Client <--> API Gateway <--> Host

We want to use socket.io functionality with api-m but it is still not available. Latest technology should support by azure.

Amazon API Gateway now supports WebSocket, when will Azure support this? This request was raised 5 years ago.

For a particular customer, I will be interested in the API management using websockets
