Thanks Chuck. I’m not sure. How can I check that? I haven’t got a favicon set 
presently. It shouldn’t default to accessing it via WO should it? I had thought 
it independent and a function of apache but of course, I do have a rewrite rule 
which redirects / to my WOA so it might well be doing that! Not entirely sure 
how to check or indeed fix!

Mark
