RC2 Firefox will not display favicon.ico as an inage
When I'm at my favorite website and I want to display their favicon.ico I cannot with RC2 2.0. For example, I type
http://www.domain.com/favicon.ico
I expect the favicon.ico image to display as an image, but it only display a bunch of characters.

No this is my own website and the favicon display just fine using IE. Could you verify if RC2 2.0 displays a favicon.ico as described in my first post? If your nit running the RC2 then could you verify it displays in any other version.

If that link is correct then that icon should show in any Fx version by clicking that link.
So that url redirects to http://www.domain.com/_css/ddc-style.css.phpLive Http Headers:http://www.domain.com/favicon.ico wrote:GET /favicon.ico HTTP/1.1

So here is my dilemma. Lets say that I want to display the favicon.ico at google, I can type:
http://www.google.com/favicon.ico
the favicon is displayed. But on my forum when I try that with Firefox RC2 all I see is a bunch of characters. If I try it with IE on my forum no problem. Another bit of information, Firefox displays the favicon on other websites correctly as with my example on Google.

It is possible to specify the favicon in the source code.
I prefer not to give out my forum, but I think I have narrowed it down to a centos problem. Try this:
http://www.centos.org/favicon.ico
notice that with firefox all you get are a bunch of characters, but with IE it displays the favicon correctly.

That icon is send as text/plain and Fx displays it as text.
You can save it (File > Save Page as) and then it will display correct if you open in Fx or an image viewer.

Thanks dickvl.
What change would I make on my centos server so that the favicon.ico would be sent as an image instead of plain text if I type:
http://www.mydomain.com/favicon.ico
