IE isn't show favicon on 404 and 500 page only. What is may be wrong?

IE isn't showing favicon for 404 and 500 pages only. What may be wrong? All other browsers are showing it fine. I use Tomcat 6 and Spring MVC. For showing the icon I used this code:

<link href="/img/favicon.ico?rev=@buildRevision@" rel="shortcut icon"/>

Thanks:)

Solution

  • We have same issue with 500 error page on our site. Favicon is not displayed in IE. You can check it even with this Stackoverflow page. On this page IE displays favicon: IE isn't show favicon on 404 and 500 page only. What is may be wrong? And if url is changed to be wrong to lead to 404: https://stackoverflow.com/questi there is no favicon on IE. But favicon tag is there: <link href="//cdn.sstatic.net/stackoverflow/img/favicon.ico" rel="shortcut icon"/>

    Looks like it is IE behavior.
