Re: [chromium-discuss] Anti-DDoS HTTP Throttling of Extension-Originated Requests breaks my website.

1. This feature should only be triggered whenever the request gets an error response (500 and similar).

2. The bug where it also throttles regular web page was fixed in the latest beta release. I cannot estimate the time it will take it to go stable, but it typically takes a few to several days.

I run a website that requires an asynchronous call to a php file every 500ms. Its not a chrome extension, it doesn't use a chrome extension. I was looking at the console today and suddenly realized these requests are being throttled by some Anti-DDoS HTTP throttling 'feature'. This means, in chrome, my website wont work properly for any of my users as these frequent requests are required to ensure a good user experience. Pushing updates to 2 seconds would severely hamper the user experience, so that is not an option.

However, I don't see my competitors' requests to their own server being throttled with the same refresh-rate. Other than forcing my users in to another browser, what are the best practices to avoid this 'feature'? 

Also, why not just delete this 'feature' for obvious reasons? Does somebody really think throttling http requests from a website is going to stop a DDoS attack? Also, does anyone think that the internet has been so crippled by DDoS attacks that this futile and debilitating 'feature' is actually worth the disk space/effort/frustration?

Note that it might take some time (something like two weeks or a little more) before all of the user base is updated to the latest version.
