Getting 401 While sending messages to Specific Connection in REST API

[DilLip-Chowdary-Codes]

Describe the bug

While we're trying to send a message to specific connectionId, we're receiving the 401 status code

More Details:

Code:

FYI Access token was generated using the SignalR Serverless Quick start with python

    import requests
    import json

    name = "Dillip"

    connection_id = "g9.....rQw02"

    token = "eyJh....-wH6nA8"

    headers = {
        "Authorization": f"Bearer {token}",
        'Content-Type': 'application/json',
    }

    body = {
        'target': 'newMessage',
        'arguments': [ f"Update Name was as {name}" ]
    }

    response = requests.post(
       f"https://<our-service>.service.signalr.net/api/v1/hubs/<hub_name>/connections/{connection_id}",
        json=body,
        headers=headers
    )

    print(response.content, response.status_code)

Exceptions (if any)

We're getting b'' as API response and 401 as status code.

The access token generated in SignalR Serverless Quick start with python negotiate function is for SignalR client connection only. Specifically, the aud claim in the access token should be the same as your HTTP request URL, not including the trailing slash and query parameters. , that is https://<our-service>.service.signalr.net/api/v1/hubs/<hub_name>/connections/{connection_id}.

BTW, you could use SignalR function extensions in Python to send messages to a connection, like this:

def main(req: func.HttpRequest, signalROutput: func.Out[str]) -> func.HttpResponse:
    message = req.get_json()
    signalROutput.set(json.dumps({
        #message will only be sent to this user ID
        'connectionId': 'connectionId',
        'target': 'newMessage',
        'arguments': [ message ]
    }))

@Y-Sindo Thanks for the update it helped us ❤️

But we need to send message as part of our business logic, so we can't choose this.
