We’ve added support for Server Sent Events (SSE) as an integrated Server Notifications option that can be used as an alternative for Web Sockets at: https://github.com/ServiceStack/ServiceStack/wiki/Server-Events

@Kunjan, SignalR and websocket support are different things. SignalR is primarily built for small message, distributed comms while websocket is a full-duplex tcp-based protocol without any such restrictions.
2 issues I've run into myself when trying to use signalr to do some out of the ordinary use case stuff.

Doing the same (sending an image) over websocket (XSockets implementation) was trivial and had no such issues.
If ServiceStack had websocket support that'd be pretty awesome, it would allow for the creation of duplex comms in a somewhat standardised manner.
