Hi there,

I've been trying to use your plugin but I can't seem to get any changes working

I have a basic classic asp website http://dev.foo.localost

In my hosts files I map 127.0.0.1 dev.foo.localhost

I then use your plugin and choose BrowserSync: Proxy mode in browser I enter http://dev.foo.localhost/test/ Then for relative path I enter *.asp|css/*.css

When I edit the file default.asp no changes are sent to my server I have to manually refresh the page

Is there something I'm doing wrong?

@dotnetshadow How about enter http://127.0.0.1 ?

Tried that bit couldn't get it to work with 127.0.0.1

I've tried browser-sync through now the server method works but proxy didn't but sure if it's related?

I tried asp under window 10, and found some tricky things to make it work under proxy mode.

Wrap `response.write` inside body tag

This is a known limitation of Browser Sync

For example,

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
    <meta charset="UTF-8">
    <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
    <meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="ie=edge">
    <title>Document</title>
</head>
<body>
    <%
        response.write("Helloaaaaa")
    %>
</body>
</html>

HTTP/1.1 404 Not Found

If you faced HTTP/1.1 404 Not Found during reload, you can save the file twice or set the delay of the reload

I'll have a go at this, I didn't notice a 404 j, but i never liked at the source.

I'll see if that's the problem and report back

Thanks for your help, I managed to get it working. Had to use nested syntax for files /**/*.asp

Just a few things:

If you are on the Welcome screen nothing pops up after selecting from command palette
Proxy in browser works well, the side panel one doesn't seem to work for me, doesn't show the correct url. It's showing the directory path
Would be nice to be able to edit the url in the side panel, currently you can't edit it

@dotnetshadow Thanks for your feedback and suggestion. To answer couple of your questions.

If you are on the Welcome screen nothing pops up after selecting from command palette A: The pops up is vscode API, may be this is a bug of vscode, I need to double check with the vscode issue
Proxy in browser works well, the side panel one doesn't seem to work for me, doesn't show the correct url. It's showing the directory path A: This is a bug, I forgot to change the path of the side panel if using proxy mode.
Would be nice to be able to edit the url in the side panel, currently you can't edit it A: Good idea, will be implemented later.
