favicon.ico

Ever since I added in an HTTP profile my favicon.ico in Internet Explorer will not display.   It shows garbage text.   But in Firefox it shows just fine.   Any idea of what to turn on inside...

What do I need to change in the HTTP profile so that it recognizes it as image/x-icon ?

i do not think bigip changes the content-type header value. anyway, can you try something like this?

e.g.

[root@ve11a:Active:Not All Devices Synced] config  tmsh list ltm rule myrule
ltm rule myrule {
    when HTTP_REQUEST {
  if { [HTTP::uri] equals "/favicon.ico" } {
    set favicon 1
  } else {
    set favicon 0
  }
}
when HTTP_RESPONSE {
  if { $favicon and [HTTP::status] == 200 } {
    HTTP::header replace "Content-Type" "image/x-icon"
  }
}
}
