Lots of favicon.ico requests on article refresh

[eckes]

If I run "Alle Artikel neu cachen" (cache all articles?) in S9Y 1.4 I see roughly 300 requests in my accesslog from the web server itself (PEAR HTTP_Request) for /favicon.ico (which I do not have).

I tried to find the reason for it, but I did not succeed. The string "favicon.ico" is only in the gravatar plugin, but after I changed it there, it is still requested:

# find . -type f -print0 | xargs -0 fgrep favicon.ico | grep -v lastrun
./data/plugins/serendipity_event_gravatar/serendipity_event_gravatar.php:
$faviconURL = $urlParts['scheme'] . '://' . $urlParts['host'] . ($mode=='F'?'/favicon.ico?s9y':'
/pavatar.png');
./data/templates/bulletproof/index.tpl:
<!-- <link rel="shortcut icon" href="{$serendipityBaseURL}favicon.ico" /> -->

Any idea where this is coming from?

Not exactly helpful, but this one should not be responsible for it since it's commented out.

Hi!

I do think the gravatar plugin is responsible for it. When the cache is rebuilt, the internal API methods are called that fetch and display an entry, so the gravatar plugin also kicks in.
