= phenomenon =
Opera 9 as well as Microsoft Internet Explorer 6 and 7 don't seem to
support any HTTP redirects for favicon.ico. This results in no favicon at
all, unfortunately both browsers are still very common (even if web
developers dislike to hear that).
= recommendation =
Please use [proxy] rather [R=301,L] for favicon.ico at fedorapeople.org
for better browser support.
