Using Google Chrome Frame as a "closed container" with HandleTopLevelRequests

148 Views Asked by At

Can anyone explain what using GCF as a "closed container" actually means?

I understand from this link that you enable this mode of operation using the HandleTopLevelRequests registry key.

I actually stumbled onto this setting as a way to prevent the Developer Tools window from automatically closing upon postbacks/redirects. That default behavior really makes the Network tab almost useless. :(

By setting the HandleTopLevelRequests registry key as described in the link above, the Developer Tools window remains open like I want.

I just don't know if this is a setting I should leave in place because I don't really understand what it's doing.

Or I suppose another way to ask it is, why wouldn't you want the HandleTopLevelRequests setting in place?

**Another registry key named UseChromeNetworking seems to often be used in conjunction with HandleTopLevelRequests. Bonus points for any details on it as well. :)

Any info at all would be appreciated-
