What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Install extensions ShowIP 2.0 and Live HTTP headers 0.17.
2. Launch browser.
3. Launch Live HTTP headers to collect sent and received HTTP headers.
4. Visit any Web page.
5. Do nothing. Let computer sit idle.
What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
After a period of reaching an idle state, the flow of HTTP headers should
cease. Instead, there are repeated requests for
https://api.ip2info.org/getdata/. No changing of ShowIP options stops this.
What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
Windows 7 (x64)
SeaMonkey 2.23
ShowIP 2.0
Please provide any additional information below.
After removing ShowIP 2.0 and reinstalling ShowIP 1.0, the problem went away
without me changing any of my other SeaMonkey extensions.
I have taken special care -- including installing extensions, locking files as
read-only, and following certain browsing practices -- to prevent being
tracked. IP2Info, however, is a site that determines my geographical location,
thereby defeating my attempts to avoid tracking. This is not acceptable.
