Favicon requests (both)

4:31pm Sat 11th May, ANONYMOUS

Hi not sure if anyone has come across this issue - when testing on my chrome browser I noticed that the servers are constantly getting requests for favicon. Right now I'm just brute-forcing the problem by saying if request is "GET /favicon.ico HTTP/1.1" ignore it. Wondering if there is a more elegant way of dealing with this?

If anything is an unrecognised request - doesn't provide a destination station and a leaving time - then it's a request that your station (web-server) doesn't support, or can't provide. What do typical web-servers do when they can't/don't support your request?
