ASP.Net MVC - Why is a controller being created for favicon.ico?
-

Question
I am using a custom ControllerFactory (to use Castle Windsor's IOC to create controllers), and I notice it's getting requests to create a controller for "favicon.ico". I have put a favicon.ico file in my Content folder, but I'm still getting these requests.
How do I resolve this and serve static content without trying to create controllers?
Solution
Add the following route:
routes.IgnoreRoute("{*favicon}", new { favicon = @"(.*/)?favicon.ico(/.*)?" });
