Perhaps a policy that you role onto all the desktops could block outgoing traffic too, but it's hardly satisfactory. On the flip side, a browser should not be able to do damage to a web-server. If you web-server is vulnerable, then it needs patching. Most likely, if your application is vulnerable then that is a design issue that you probably can't lay at the door of Microsoft and is unlikely to be an issue only with Windows 10 of which a browser sits underneath.

There should be no material difference in the way a browser running under any operating system interacts with a web-server, there are standards for the conversations they will have and if they do not comply then the conversation is more likely to be terminated rather than do damage. The only possible exception might be a DoS issue if the browser loops, constantly issuing requests, but that is going to be a browser fault rather than a Windows 10 fault unless you have rogue software that is also making requests.

Good anti-virus/anti-malware is essential, whatever the platform.



Just my thoughts,
Robin

flush - Flush system output buffer

SYNOPSIS
void flush (void ) DESCRIPTION
Flushes the system write buffers of PHP and whatever backend PHP is using (CGI, a web server, etc). This attempts to push current output all the way to the browser with a few caveats. flush(3) may not be able to override the buffering scheme of your web server and it has no effect on any client-side buffering in the browser. It also doesn't affect PHP's userspace output buffering mechanism. This means you will have to call both ob_flush(3) and flush(3) to flush the ob output buffers if you are using those. Several servers, especially on Win32, will still buffer the output from your script until it terminates before transmitting the results to the browser. Server modules for Apache like mod_gzip may do buffering of their own that will cause flush(3) to not result in data being sent immedi- ately to the client. Even the browser may buffer its input before displaying it. Netscape, for example, buffers text until it receives an end-of-line or the beginning of a tag, and it won't render tables until the </table> tag of the outermost table is seen. Some versions of Microsoft Internet Explorer will only start to display the page after they have received 256 bytes of output, so you may need to send extra whitespace before flushing to get those browsers to display the page.

No value is returned. SEE ALSO
