title: Asp.net Mvc: why is browser looking for favicon.ico
body: <p>I know there is a solution to stop the mvc framework to process "favicon.ico" requests (<a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/4624190/mvc-does-the-favicon-ico-also-look-for-a-controller">solution</a>), but i don't know why is it looking for this icon in the first place.</p>
  
  <p>I searched using Find in Files > Entire Solution for <code>favicon.ico</code> and nothing was found.</p>
  
  <p>I searched in the html source code of the website for <code>favicon.ico</code> and nothing was found.</p>
  
  <p>Where is it? why the browser is trying to serve it?</p>
