If you want to use host headers in development with self hosted ASP .NET SignalR 2.0, you can add the hostheader to your hosts file, found in C:\Windows\System32\Drivers\etc

Then use the following adjusted client and server from the tutorial at http://www.asp.net/signalr/overview/getting-started/tutorial-signalr-self-host:

 

Server

namespace SignalRSelfHost
{
    using System;
    using Microsoft.AspNet.SignalR;
    using Microsoft.Owin.Hosting;
    using Owin;

    class Program
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            // This will *ONLY* bind to localhost, if you want to bind to all addresses
            // use http://*:8080 to bind to all addresses. 
            // See http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.net.httplistener.aspx 
            // for more information.
            
            //string url = "http://localhost:8080";
            string url = "http://rlitest.nl";

            using (WebApp.Start<Startup>(url))
            {
                Console.WriteLine("Server running on {0}", url);
                Console.ReadLine();
            }
        }
    }
    class Startup
    {
        public void Configuration(IAppBuilder app)
        {
            var config = new HubConfiguration();
            config.EnableJSONP = true;
            app.MapSignalR(config);
        }
    }
    public class MyHub : Hub
    {
        public void Send(string name, string message)
        {
            Clients.All.addMessage(name, message);
        }
    }
}
