My Edgeprocess is flooding localhost with requests to /rate

Copper Contributor

Hi Community!

 

Today I worked on a program and to debug some webrequests I opened Fiddler (A analyser tool). While fiddler was running I see the following (to me very strange) behaviours comming from edge.

 

Fiddler captures a lot of webrequests from my edge process to localhost (Different ports in the range 17710 - 17721). All of this requests were unsuccessfull (status code 502) but I am wondering what this could be?

 

I have tried to disable all my edge extensions but no difference (There was one extension from fortinet which I cannot disable duo to company restrictions).

 

Details about the request:

GET http://localhost:17720/rate?keepalive=1&browsername=edge&incognito=0 HTTP/1.1
Host: localhost:17720
Proxy-Connection: keep-alive
sec-ch-ua: "Microsoft Edge";v="105", " Not;A Brand";v="99", "Chromium";v="105"
DNT: 1
sec-ch-ua-mobile: ?0
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/105.0.0.0 Safari/537.36 Edg/105.0.1343.42
sec-ch-ua-platform: "Windows"
Accept: */*
Sec-Fetch-Site: none
Sec-Fetch-Mode: cors
Sec-Fetch-Dest: empty
Accept-Encoding: gzip, deflate, br
Accept-Language: de,de-DE;q=0.9,en;q=0.8,en-GB;q=0.7,en-US;q=0.6

When I close edge (and if I disable the "run in the background" behaviour) the flooding stops.

Does anybody know what this can be? Is this intended behaviour and if so what is the purpose of this?

 

 

best regards
