 = phenomenon =
 Opera 9 as well as Microsoft Internet Explorer 6 and 7 don't seem to
 support any HTTP redirects for favicon.ico. This results in no favicon at
 all, unfortunately both browsers are still very common (even if web
 developers dislike to hear that).

 = recommendation =
 Please use [proxy] rather [R=301,L] for favicon.ico at fedorapeople.org
 for better browser support.
