### Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe the problem.
I am trying to handle in the client that if the message to send exceeds the maximum message size allowed in the server I can show at least a log so that if the connection fails at least I can know the cause.
I know that using on the server side `EnableDetailedErrors = true` could achieve the same but that property is very generic and if any other error occurs I don't want it to expose information that could be sensitive.
That is why I am doing some reverse engineering and although it is not pretty, I think there is no other alternative to do this as of today:
```csharp
static int InvocationMessageByteCount(HubConnection hubConnection, string invocationId, string target, object[] arguments)
{
IHubProtocol hubProtocol = (IHubProtocol)hubConnection.GetType()
.GetField("_protocol", BindingFlags.NonPublic | BindingFlags.Instance)
.GetValue(hubConnection);
InvocationMessage invocationMessage = new(invocationId, target, arguments);
ArrayBufferWriter data = new();
hubProtocol.WriteMessage(invocationMessage, data);
return data.WrittenCount;
}
```
And to know if it exceeds the message size limit is simply to make a check of that value: "byteCount > 32768" (default value of the server).
### Describe the solution you'd like
That there is an API similar to the method I have made included by default.
