Using URL Routing for Web Forms and StopRoutingHandler for Favicon

Question

I have a website where I need to add a Favicon.ico. The site is written using ASP.NET 3.5 Web Forms with Routing. The issue is that the Favicon link always returns a page

Answer 1

I used this and it worked:

routes.Add(new Route("favicon.ico", new StaticFileRouteHandler("~/favicon.ico")));

public class StaticFileRouteHandler : IRouteHandler
{
    public string VirtualPath { get; set; }
    public StaticFileRouteHandler(string virtualPath)
    {
        VirtualPath = virtualPath;
    }

    public System.Web.IHttpHandler GetHttpHandler(RequestContext requestContext)
    {
        HttpContext.Current.RewritePath(VirtualPath);
        return new DefaultHttpHandler();
    }
}

Apparently this works too:

routes.Add(new Route("favicon.ico", new StopRoutingHandler()));

I just needed to close Firefox, clear my history and try again.
