Hi, Now that mozilla started supporting "favicons", I noticed that Apache's mime.types file doesn't have the type image/x-icon for .ico files. Thus, sites like yahoo or netscape, which use unknown and Netscape-Entreprise servers respectively, return the correct content type on the /favicon.ico URL, while others like apache or google, which use Apache and GWS servers respectively, return text/plain on this URL. Although this content type is not registered at IANA as far as I have been able to check, I do think it should be added to Apache's mime.types file. In the mean time, I added the line "AddType image/x-icon .ico" to my Apache server configuration file.
