disable favicon error #796

Closed yukulele closed 2 years ago

yukulele commented 2 years ago

What's the problem this feature will solve?

My browser show this error each time a reload my page:

GET http://127.0.0.1:8080/favicon.ico [[HTTP/1.1 404 Not Found 4ms]]()

I only want to see the messages related to the current development.

Describe the solution you'd like

http-server should send HTTP 204 No Content success status response code by default when favicon.ico is not in public directory

Alternative Solutions

I can get a favicon.ico file and add it to the directory but

Maybe better to handle this in your code with one of the solutions from https://stackoverflow.com/a/13416784 ? From user's perspective it's better if you can avoid requesting a non-existing file instead of returning an empty answer. Some developers may prefer to see the warning if such redundant requests are made.

If the file doesn't exist, isn't 404 the correct response?
