IE WebBrowser Control hangs while closing - visual-c++

I have developed customize browser using IE WebBrowser Control in c++. Everything works fine. The only problem I am facing is when I am closing the browser. It closes normally if there is no to-and-fro of data happening like in light-weight website. But it hangs/freezes while closing if there is to-and-fro of data happening like audio player is running on the website or in a real-time update website where it keeps sending and receiving the data.
I am doing the clean closing and destroying of the browser as mentioned here. I also tried to navigate to about:blank before closing. Still nothing.
From the call stack I could see that it is still trying to run some JavaScript code while closing/destroying the browser. I tried to look into it if any-how I could clear or stop all activities but still I found nothing.
Any suggestions?

Try this:
IWebBrowser2::ExecWB(OLECMDID_STOP, OLECMDEXECOPT_DONTPROMPTUSER, NULL, NULL)

Website comes up as soon as I start typing

I have an application in Node/Express that is exhibiting some strange (to me, at least) behavior. I am not sure why this happens, but as soon as I begin typing in the URL, the web page instantly comes up. All the logs start populating data and I have my home screen. This is on a local instance for now as I'm still trying to work out bugs related here. I believe these two may be inter-related, but I can't find any data online; perhaps I'm using the wrong search terms, but the long and the short of it is this:
I'm connected to a VM (CentOS7) and everything is run through AWS. I type in my IP:PORT (e.g. 12.34.56.78:9999). As SOON as I type the '1' in the URL, all the logs fire, running through all the scripts. Since I'm at my home page, I hit 'Enter' and is SUPPOSED to go through a redirect to an authorization page (e.g. 12.34.56.78:9999/auth). At that point we're running into my original post, identified above, but this question is simply an attempt to understand why my web page is being shown before I ever 'finish' the call by hitting the 'Enter' key. Is this normal behavior when an application is being accessed locally?
Because your browser is "smart" and guesses that you want to open that website and will therefore load it before you complete the url. That of course only happens if you have previously visited that site, otherwise the browser does not know the url yet. What logic the browser internally uses for this decision depends mostly on the browser and its settings, wether it factors in how recently you visited it or how often, or ...
If you actually want to browse that website when you finish typing the browser has already loaded the page and can instantly display it instead of now loading it and letting you wait a couple of seconds. If you decide you want to go to 123.com instead the browser simply discards the preloaded page and continues as normal.

Meteor error message client-side

I'm using the framework Meteor (Node.js).
I get this error message in my web browser when my project page is loaded:
The connection to ws://localhost:3000/sockjs/622/u2zaukpp/websocket was interrupted while the page was loading.
Why is it occuring?
It happens every single time you reload the page or it gets reloaded by the server.
Basically the page is constantly receiving data from the server (collections data, methods, or simply a ping). Since it is constantly open and Meteor forces a reload on code change (or you did force one by reloading the page), your browser freaks out and shows you this error.
It can also happen if the Meteor process is killed.
Thus, expect to see this error a lot during development, you don't have to worry about it.

node.js cheerio (scraping) live updating page

There is a webpage with live text data in a span tag that updates without the page refreshing. Is it possible to use cheerio or maybe another node.js module to get the page info and keep it open so node.js also sees the updates?
I would like to not keep re-requesting. As A human with the webpage open in the browser i do not need to refresh so logically the same should be doable in node.js
True?
You can use phantomjs
It's like a real browser but without window.
You can handle all browser event, so you can know when an element is added to page.

node-webkit http.Server and page change

I write an application using node-webkit. I want to use HTTP for network communication between computers, running my app. Can I change current page without server restart if server was started from the page?
I thought about child process, but I want to shutdown the server with my application. I don't want to use special network request to the server to close it.
Can I change current page without server restart?
Can I save child process object while page changing?
Do you know other way to do this?
P.S. Sorry for my english.
I found the answer in the node-webkit documentation.
In node-webkit, you can basically do the same thing by using
window.location, you can install it in the onclick event of a link and
node-webkit will navigate to a new page when user clicks it. But by
doing this you would lose everything in window context, you can save
everything in cookies like old web pages, or you can save things in
the global variable, which resides in Node.js's context and will live
through your app.

xPages making continues requests to the server after rebuild

I have a problem with xPages after rebuild, if a user tries to access a page after a rebuild the webpage starts to make continues requests to server, The application uses extlib and the dyamic content control.
The big problem here is that if you are making interval ajax request in the webpage, the same problem will happend without user actions. So all users having the webpage open after a new design is added will automatically get this problem which could probably kill the server.
I am not sure, but I think this might be a Extension Library problem
There is a youtube video of the problem here:
