Re: favicon not working

I'm pretty sure the format is correct.  More specifically, assuming the
format is correct (16x16x256), then what is the iSeries HHTP server doing
differently then say Yahoo or MSNBC's server since when you point to them
directly they display in the browser yet when I point to mine, IE shows me
the file download dialog box asking me to save or open the file.
