When I use Visual Studio (I’m using the 2013 version, I don’t know if the previous ones have) with the Browser Link enabled, there is always a GET request in the browser console (F12). What would this request be?
XHR finished loading: GET "http://domain.com/__browserLink/requestData/45d702dfc31b4ded88bc432b6dfdb762?version=2".
Opening the file, I see the following shortcode: Archive in Pastebin for being very extensive.
In this answer is informed that:
Browser Link is a feature of Visual Studio 2013 that creates a communication channel between the development environment and one or more web browsers. You can use the browser link to update your web application in multiple browsers at the same time, which is useful for cross-browser testing.
The author says it’s a Communication Channel, but what communicates?
What is the use of this connection?
This slows down the development environment?
Note: I’m not using Signalr.
