Description

Thanks for the good work!

New Feature

Is authentication for signalR on the plans? We are using signalR with IdentityServer4, to send data over to authenticated users, but I don't think Ocelot is supporting it currently, as stated in documentation.

Motivation for New Feature

I am not sure of people who would use signalR without user authentication.

Contributor guide

Research direction
The issue requests adding SignalR authentication support to Ocelot, likely by integrating with the existing authentication pipeline. Review the issue comments for user requirements and potential approaches. Investigate how Ocelot handles WebSocket connections and where SignalR's authentication middleware could be inserted. Consider looking at the Ocelot source code in the src/Ocelot directory for existing authentication handlers and the SignalR configuration in the Samples directory.
