Asp.net Mvc: why is browser looking for favicon.ico

Question

I know there is a solution to stop the mvc framework to process \"favicon.ico\" requests (solution), but i don\'t know why is it looking for this icon in the first place.

Answer 1

Some browsers just look for favicon.ico in the root of your website by default.
I think the easiest way to stop the browser looking for this file is provide the image once, then the browser will cache it and stop asking.
