Description
===========

A very small module to make requests to http://example.com/favicon.ico forward
to the actual site's true favicon.

This module takes the favicon for the current site/theme and makes it available
at the url example.com/favicon.ico (where example.com is your domain). The
problem is that some web browsers and web applications blindly make a call to
example.com/favicon.ico looking for your sites favicon. In drupal this causes an
error entry to show up in the logs because there is nothing there.

If you want your icon to show at that address you can put a copy of your favicon
n the root drupal directory. But, what if you have a multisite configuration
with different favicons. This module will allow that address to show the current
themes favicon at example.com/favicon.ico and it will work for multisite
configurations.

If no favicon is specified, the Drupal default core/misc/favicon.ico is returned.
