Wolfgang Wiese: favicon-generve :)

Beitrag lesen

Hi,

heute bei http://www.scottandrew.com/today/:

(IMHO eine gute Idee, um der Verbrecherfirma ihr
Zeug zurueckzugeben) :

----SNIP----

RedirectMatch permanent .*/favicon.ico$ URL

where URL is the URL of either:

  1. an icon named something other than favicon.ico, on your own site
  2. http://www.microsoft.com/favicon.ico/requests/areflooding/my/error/log

With this, the server catches all requests for favicon.ico, in all subdirectories, and redirects them somewhere else. In the case of #2, we redirect the request to the MS site, to a bogus directory. Since it's bogus, it leaves an error message on Microsoft's error logs, instead of yours. Sort of like a formal protest. Keep your filthy paws off my error logs, you damn, dirty apes.

-SNAP-

Ciao,
