Description
==========
I have a process with HTTP Receiver process starter. The process is used for retrieving WSDL resource. When I hit something like "http://localhost:<port>/" in the browser, I am supposed to get one request. But sometimes I get an extra HTTP request. The output of HTTP Receiver shows  "/favicon.ico" in RequestURI.

Environment
============
All

Resolution
=========
'/favicon.ico' request is initiated from the browser to retrieve favicon for a  Web site or Web page. TIBCO BusinessWorks has no control over whether they are sent or not. This is a browser issue. If you want to get rid of it  you can handle and discard the request in BW. Refer to attached example (Filename: favicon.zip).
