[users@httpd] Address bar icon: HOWTO
How can I setup Apache that to handle an address bar icon ?
I have created an icon called tsl.ico and put it in the root document folder.
The HTML page has header:
<LINK REL="SHORTCUT ICON" HREF="tsl.ico">
However the icon is not rendered in the address bar.
I probably have to add some directives, but which ?

Will work as well without AddType directive.
However the behaviour of the browser changes as it will show a dialog prompt
if you enter a URL to favicon.ico in the address bar.

It works for me on Apache2 on windows NT.
this was already in my configuration file:
AddType image/x-icon .ico

I have done the following tests to isolate the problem:
1. Replaced href link:
<LINK REL="SHORTCUT ICON" HREF="http://www.favicon.com/favicon.ico">
Result:
This icon renders properly in my browser Konqueror
2. Replaced icon:
In order to eliminate a problem with tsl.ico I replaced it with favicon.ico,
which we know is working.
I run this from my test server.
Result:
favicon.ico is not rendered in my browser.
3. Type URL directly to icon
3.1
URL: http://www.favico.com/favicon.ico
Result:
Browser prompted to save icon
3.2
URL: http://myserver/favicon.ico
Result:
Browser renders rubbish
From these test I can see that the server at www.favicon.com behaves different
from my test server.
All other things being equal it look logical to me to conclude there is a
problem in the way Apache handles files with an ".ico" extension.

I don't think Apache has anything to do with favicons... but I may be
wrong, eh.
