the favicon.ico request is made each time someone with IE adds your web page to their favorites.

If you have a file named this on your system and it's the correct size, number of pallets, etc (it's an icon file), it will use this icon for the favorites list, and in the URL page.

Turns out that I'm doing an article on this and the robots.txt file (you may see this too in your logs) for the iSeries Experts Journal. But, there's plenty of info on the web now if you want to dig into it.

If you want to see favicon.ico in action, go to www.bvstools.com and add it to your favorites (use Internet Explorer). Then, view your favorites list. You'll see a pretty cool (and hopefully recognizable) icon intead of the standard "e".

Subject: web error log

does anyone recognize this? it appears throughout my wwwerror log file, various days, various ip addresses.

/favicon.ico

sometimes it appears with my ifs directory, like /xyz/favicon.ico

is there a site to look up what people try on a system? I've had a few attempts lately, mostly unix or nt commands.
