![]() ![]() After all, like the singer says, maybe Internet Explorer 8 really is "just like your own little slice of heaven. Regardless, Parton seems to have found her stride. As she points out in the video, she "didn't even know there 1 through 7." Once complete, that Web Slice will be displayed in the user's Favorites Bar to make it easier to keep track of those sites the user often visits.īut the very fact that Parton (a portion of whose site is now available as a Web Slice, by the way), would endorse Internet Explorer 8 is a bit surprising. According to Microsoft, "if a Web Slice is available on a page, a green Web Slices icon will appear in the Command Bar." Users can simply click on that icon to subscribe to that page's Web Slice. Web Slices, which is available only in IE 8, enables users to keep up with sites they check often, such as ones for Web mail or weather reports. The Microsoft representative said in an e-mail that the software company "wasn't involved in the production or scripting" of Parton's Internet Explorer 8 endorsement. Parton's site now features a three-tab Web Slice that includes her video diary, news on her career, and the option to buy some of her music. So Web Slices are like snippets of a page that a user can subscribe to. Here is an overview: Web Slices bring the user’s favorite data (sports scores, weather reports, stock quotes, etc.) directly into the Favorites Bar. And because my company works also for official authorities which depend on them, this could escalate in some bad way.According to a Microsoft representative, the software giant showed Parton's Web team "the new features in IE 8 and Silverlight, and they liked it so much, they wanted to implement it on their site." Lately I wrote an article for MSDN to introduce Accelerators and Web Slices in IE8 and show how to build them. This forced calls will move VSC on the blacklist at some point if there is no native solution to really stop it. In my company are higher security levels set and this kind of calls are monitored. Its also a question of security and good behaviour. I really like to point out that our all interest must be not to make the proxy working but to have a working solution to make only outgoing connections when the settings explicit allows it. "extensions.showRecommendationsOnlyOnDemand": true, "update.enableWindowsBackgroundUpdates": false, I tried this funny and wild collection but it did not stop the 2 calls home: Only as cmd line part it works.Īs we have an enterprise proxy system, my proxy string looks like " with a percent encoded I did, as noted, also a test with a non auth proxy in the settings.json, which was ignored. "-proxy-server= used the same proxy string as set in the windows env as HTTP/S_PROXY and also as set in the settings.json without success. I did some tests and found, that when i add the cmd line to the VSC call, it works in terms VSC use the right proxy settings. ![]() Naturally, this behaviour will rise some question to any company security. Which also not fix the main problem, that this calls are either not documented but also did not respect any proxy and auth settings. We already tried to disable it in the settings, but it seems not be invoked by something configurable. The szenario is easily to test on a non proxy system by using fiddler and running it with a blind proxy.Īfter starting the VSC (and the insider), it will show after 2-3 seconds 2 calls to the host above on 443. Both will fail because VSC is direct callign the 443 port, as the fiddler output shows. We tested that with a tricky setup, using an auth based proxy in the windows env settings but a different one inside the settings file, which did not need any auth. it will ignore the proxy settings from VSC itself.it ignores the HTTP_PROXY/HTTPS_PROXY settings with auth ( like ).this happens on different mashines on win7 and win10.Behind an enterprise proxy, the VSC and the VSCI will try to call 2 times az764295.vo.:ĬONNECT az764295.vo.:443 HTTP/1.1 ![]()
