Trying to use Azure Web PubSub to send real time data from server and to receive the same in clients.
Created a WebsocketClient ( Client1 ) which does not uses protocol ( json.webpubsub.azure.v1 ).
Created another WebsocketClient ( Client2 ) which uses protocol ( json.webpubsub.azure.v1 ).
Both the clients are using two different ClientAccessUri ( Having access to join and send message to a group called 'TestGroup' ), the accessUrls are generated in server using negotiate endpoint with two different userId's.
Both the clients are started and joined the group 'TestGroup'.
Server sends a message to that group 'TestGroup', using SendToGroupAsync.
The sent message get received by Client2 only ( which is having protocol ) but not in Client1 ( which is not having protocol associated ).
But how can we get message in Client1? As it is not having protocol, Client1 should be able to communicate with server, while server sends a message to group ( as explained in microsoft doc below ).
