I've been spending the past couple days working on webservers, and I've noticed that the first time that the browser requests a page, it also requests /favicon.ico, no matter what page in the file hierarchy it's trying to GET.

From there, it would seem like if you have a host name (http://www.example.com ), you can just execute a URLRequest for /favicon.ico, and you should be good to go (most of the time).

HTH,

Dave

Hey,

I want to get the favicon of a URL address, but don't actually need any of the page's content. Is there an efficient way to do this besides hammering the site for this info? This image isn't critical, so something that works "most of the time" should be fine.

Thanks,
Mitch
