problem with favicon.ico and rewrites

[Alexander Gabriel]

Hi couchappers

On http://artdaten.ch I have a couchapp.

It uses these rewrite rules:

[

{

"from": "",

"to": "index.html"

},

{

"from": "/favicon.ico",

"to": "/favicon.ico"

},

{

"from": "Artenliste.html",

"to": "Artenliste.html"

},

        <here follow more rules for single pages>

{

"from": "style/*",

"to": "style/*"

},

{

"from": "vendor/*",

"to": "vendor/*"

},

{

"from": "_view/*",

"to": "_view/*"

},

{

"from": "_list/*",

"to": "_list/*"

},

{

"from": "_update/*",

"to": "_update/*"

},

{

"from": "_users/*",

"to": "_users/*"

},

{

"from": "_session/*",

"to": "_session/*"

},

{

"from" : "evab/*",

"to" : "../../*"

},

{

"from" : "evab/",

"to" : "../../"

}

]

(The db and its design file are called "evab")

Looks like everything is working nicely BUT: the favicon is not shown in the browser tabs. It does show on localhost where rewrites are not active.

The link to the favicon is included in all page header:

<link rel="SHORTCUT ICON" href="favicon.ico">

I'm on ubuntu 12.04, couchdb 1.5.

What am I missing?

Help is much appreciated.

Alex

P.S.: Seems like couchapp.org is down

[Alexander Gabriel]

oh sorry. that is:

{

"from": "favicon.ico",

"to": "favicon.ico"

}

and favicon.ico is in the _attachments folder

I usually have very generic rewrite rules. This one size fits me:

https://github.com/benoitc/erica/blob/master/priv/templates/webstyle/_ddoc/rewrites.json

The last one being a fallback so you dont have to keep adding rewrites. That should match your favicon.

thanks a lot! that is much simpler

I just realized that my rewrites actually DO work.

Maybe not showing the favicon hat something to do with caching in the browser

Browsers cache favicons pretty notoriously sometimes. I recently just deleted my browser's favicon cache to make a new favicon for my site show up in the browser tab. As a test without a client-side cache I usually run 'curl -i <url>'.
