Fiddler and vshub requests

If you debug a web-site project using Visual Studio 2015 or higher, you may see a ton of requests to the URL /vshub/ in fiddler. These requests are used by Visual Studio and the VsHub process to communicate with each other and are not actually related to your website.

So what can you do?

1. You can setup a filter to filter out the /vshub/ uris.

2. I prefer custom rule that I can turn on or off and here is what it looks like:

Edit the customRules.js file (Rules > Customize Rules).

Add the following lines to class Handler

public static RulesOption("Display VSHUB Requests")
var m_bShowVshubRequests: boolean = false;

In “OnBeforeRequest” add the following code:

static function OnBeforeRequest(oSession: Session) {
      
        if (!m_bShowVshubRequests && oSession.uriContains("/vshub/"))
        {
            oSession.Ignore(); //oSession["ui-hide"] = "true";
        }

And now by default it will never show and if you want to look at it, you can do so by enabling it at:
