Visual Studio 2015 Update 1 spamming localhost

Question

Another option for preventing fiddler from chewing up your CPU is write a rule in fiddler to ignore those requests. Goto Rules > Customize Rules… find the function OnBeforeRequest and add

if(oSession.oRequest.headers["host"]=="localhost:49155"){
    oSession["ui-hide"] = "true";
}

so mine looks like this:

static function OnBeforeRequest(oSession: Session) {
    if(oSession.oRequest.headers["host"]=="localhost:49155"){
        oSession["ui-hide"] = "true";
    }
}

as @matrixugly pointed out the port can be different depending on the version of VS. @tedd-hansen’s solution might be better across all versions of visual studio.

if(oSession.oRequest.headers["host"].StartsWith("localhost") 
    && oSession.PathAndQuery.StartsWith("/vshub/")) {
    oSession["ui-hide"] = "true";
}
