Do they indicate anything Your browser looks for the file 'favicon.ico' on the website it's browsing. If it finds one, it displays that in the address bar, and in bookmarks (if you bookmark that url.) You may read up more at: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Favicon > It also brought to mind whether the websites with the Penguin where > served by a linux server etc. The webmaster is free to place any icon there - these would generally be the logo of the website itself, or something to indicate the site's nature. > and finally how would / could one make out what kind of server or OS > are the webpages, websites based on / served from. You'd query the webserver for it. Typically the HTTP headers would tell you, but remember that the server is free to lie about it. :) Quick ways include: curl -I http://india.gov.in (try it :) ).

[ilugd] How to know what kind of server / os a website is being served from
Hi Will browsing the net some icons appear on the address bar, before the address, sometimes its the Linux penguin, other times other icons. So a few related questions: 1. Do they indicate anything It also brought to mind whether the websites with the Penguin where served by a linux server etc. and finally how would / could one make out what kind of server or OS are the webpages, websites based on / served from. I am not sure if I have scripted the questions well but am asking anyways thanks and regards ram ___ ilugd mailinglist -- ilugd@lists.linux-delhi.org http://frodo.hserus.net/mailman/listinfo/ilugd Archives at: http://news.gmane.org/gmane.user-groups.linux.delhi http://www.mail-archive.com/ilugd@lists.linux-delhi.org/
