However, when someone opens a picture in his webbrowser by opening "www.mydomain.com/public/pictures/picture.jpg", he or she gets a login-dialog, because the browser tries to open "www.mydomain.com/favicon.ico", which is a restricted directory. Does anybody knows how to tell apache to simpy send a 404 (page not found) instead of requiring username/password?
Personally, I'd set a
<link rel="shortcut icon" href="/public/favicon.ico"> or similar.
I'm not sure if IE respects this, but I believe most other browsers do.
