Favicon.ico weirdness

| It turns out that to get Apache to serve a favicon.ico file, the file
has to have its execute permissions set. Is there a reason for this?
Or is it just random weirdness?

That's funny I run Apache 2.0.54 and mine servers the favicon.ico file
using the permissions of 644
Just how are you calling you favicon
<link rel="shortcut icon" href="/path/to/your/favicon.ico" />
are you using Linux or Windows?

Perhaps that is simply when your browser finally became aware of it.
I know when I was trying to add a favicon to my web server, firefox
apparently had cached the fact that I didn't have one, I couldn't
get it to show up till I flushed the firefox cache and reloaded
the web page.

Linux. (Red Hat.) And it's just "favicon.ico" in the documentroot
directory. I got a 404 until I did chmod a+x (which I discovered after
reading http://www.yelsew.com/apache-favicon.html) after which it worked
fine.
