title: How to force ie11 to request a new favicon?
body: <p>I am working on a website which changes its favicon depending on the user details logged in. A controller processes this request at the back-end and sends the appropriate favicon for the site. So far, I avoided the favicon getting cached by most browsers through this:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;link rel="shortcut icon" type="image/x-icon" href="resources/favicon.ico?v=${date.time}"/&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>However, the favicon still gets cached in ie11. No requests were received by the controller when I turned on debug on Netbeans.</p>
  
  <p>Things to note: </p>
  
  <ol>
  <li>The first favicon upon entering the site works. I just can't replace
  it after logging in. </li>
  <li>I typed the favicon url in the address bar and it returned the correct favicon.</li>
  </ol>
  
  <p>I've been looking around but I can't find a solution to this problem. :&lt;</p>
