I'm getting favicon.ico error
I downloaded the Netbeans IDE to code in HTML. I'm new to it. When I run my code, chrome is opening and everything is working just fine. I'm getting some sort of error in the Output - Browser Log.
Failed to load resource: net::ERR_EMPTY_RESPONSE (20:00:55:963 | error, network)
at http://localhost:8383/favicon.ico
How do I fix it?
I have had this error for some time as well. It might be some kind of netbeans bug that has to do with netbeans connector. I can't find any mention of favicon.ico in my code or in the project settings.
I was able to fix it by putting the following line in the head section of my html file
<link rel="shortcut icon" href="#">
I am currently using this in my testing environment, but I would remove it for any production environment.
The accepted answer didn't work for me, I had to add a value to the href attribute:
<link rel="shortcut icon" href="#" />
The accepted answer didn't work for me so I've found this solution.
It may be related to the HTML version as the most voted solution there states:
If you need your document to validate against HTML5 use this instead:
<link rel="icon" href="data:;base64,iVBORw0KGgo=">
See the link for more info.
The answers above didn't work for me. I found a very good article for Favicon, explaining:
- what is a Favicon;
- why does Favicon.ico show up as a 404 in the log files;
- why should You use a Favicon;
- how to make a Favicon using FavIcon from Pics or other Favicon creator;
- how to get Your Favicon to show.
So I created Favicon using FavIcon from Pics. Put it in folder (named favicon) and add this code in <head> tag:
<link rel="shortcut icon" href="favicon/favicon.ico">
<link rel="icon" type="image/gif" href="favicon/animated_favicon1.gif">
Now there is no error and I see my Favicon:
favicon.ico is the icon of a website on the title bar of your website. Netbeans couldnt find the favicon.ico file in your website folder
if you dont want it, you can remove the line that is similar to this in your head section
<link rel="shortcut icon" href="favicon.ico">
or if you want to use an icon for the title bar, you can use icon convertor to generate a .ico image and keep it in your website folder and use the above line in the head section
