[CFCDev] SOT: hidden IE Headers

[Joseph Flanigan]

I was running into a problem with pages running slow. It turns out the 
problem was not with my Web page nor spyware, it was IE configuration. If 
the browser has a MSN search panel open and extra tool bars like google or 
msn, these features can send extra hidden get requests. By closing the 
search panel and changing the toolbar options the extra gets went away. It 
appears these features act like framesets when loading a page. A new page 
request sends requests for the entire frameset not just the single page.

There is a tool, ieHTTPHeaders, that displays the requests.

I would almost call these spyware. Especially when the MSN is in the search 
panel.
