Redirecting favicon.ico in the Error 404 handler?

I want to add a favicon.ico to one of my websites. Because this is a large
site, with two domains sharing an IP, I want to be able to redirect the
favicon .ICO file from my VBScript Error 404 file (depending upon the domain
name). Anybody have directions for doing this?


In my Error 404 file, I can place this is the partocilar domain secitons"

-------------------
strQueryString = LCase(getSerVar("QUERY_STRING"))
If InStr(strQueryString, "favicon.ico") <= 0 Then
' WHAT GOES HERE TO PROVIDE THE .ICO FILE?
End If
-------------------

.....Thanks!

Sorry, here is the corrected code - the second line must be > and not <=

You could ADODB stream it, but you might find that the following is
sufficient (as well as faster and more efficient):

Response.ContentType = "image/x-icon"
Server.Transfer("/images/myFavicon.ico")
Response.End()

THANKS, Andrew! I got that to work, except for the Server.Transfer
statement... I had to do:

Server.Transfer("myFavicon.ico")

Isn't Server.Transfer supposed to be a path, and not a relative URL?

It takes a relative path :-)
