Menu
I have a rails 3.2.6 app and I am using the asset pipeline and I have no favicon.ico but for some reason my app keeps looking for it which is causing problems
Started GET "/favicon.ico" for 127.0.0.1 at 2012-06-18 16:20:44 -0400
Processing by PlaylistsController#index as
I have no idea what is causing this to get called...there is nothing in my app at all that has the text favicon
My question is, Is there a place in rails that i can tell this to stop?
Here is my head information just in case

No, there's not.
All current, popular browsers (except Seamonkey) make a GET request to /favicon.ico themselves, and there's no way to stop them from doing so. If it doesn't exist, they will still request it, and continue to request it; nothing about your application or server can change that.
Rails includes a favicon.ico file with a size of 0 in the public folder by default so that instead of sending an HTML 404 page that will never be seen in response, a zero content length response is sent, which (under most production configurations) will be cached and will be faster as it won’t have to be processed by Ruby.
