VS2013 RTM does once per second. R signal asks when I check with violinist

Question

When I check Fiddler, I see that my new VS2013 installation gives continuous R signal requests. I do not use anything in common with this in my application. How can I stop these requests, which I believe are part of VS2013, trying to synchronize something?

Answer 1

This is probably due to the fact that the BrowserLink function is mentioned here . BrowserLink uses SignalR to communicate between VS and your browsers.

Answer 2

Is it possible to exit VisualStudio? It may also help if you tell us where VS is contacting ...

Answer 3

There seem to be two additional calls made by the link to the browser:

• a one-way call made when the page is rendered at the same port as the site exchanging mapping information between Razor views and elements. This call has __browserlink at the beginning of the URL.
• periodic call as part of SignalR synchronization. This has a SignalR about 30 characters per URL.

The first, only call I can live with. Another fills my capture story.

To avoid this, in fiddler, I used the option “Hide the following hosts” in the “Filter” tab and placed something like localhost:62533 in the text box. Note that the port number seems to change every time VS2013 is restarted.

While the “Use Filters” checkbox is checked, I still see the traffic I want (plus a one-time call for __browserlink ).
