New Post: Browser Link with Express App

Hi Kaman,

I wouldn't expect it to work.

I found this article which talks about the browser link feature:
http://www.asp.net/visual-studio/overview/2013/using-browser-link

This part is interesting:

When Browser Link is enabled, Visual Studio acts as a SignalR server that multiple clients (browsers) can connect to. Browser Link also registers an HTTP module with ASP.NET. This module injects special <script> references into every page request from the server.

Since node.exe is used to serve the web site, not IIS or IIS express, then we would need to have a node.exe way of injecting those script references.

We do have a feature work item for iisnode integration (https://nodejstools.codeplex.com/workitem/170), that might help get Browser Link to work.

I'll create a feature work item for Browser Link.
