file not found on default express install

[mateodelnorte]

just created a new express app using 3.5.0 and get the following:

Error: ENOENT, open '/Users/matt/development/knowjs/node_modules/express/node_modules/connect/node_modules/static-favicon/../public/favicon.ico'

this is using the standard, generated:

app.use(express.favicon());

which is exported from connect, which seems to just be a require('static-favicon'); ... which led me here. ;) let me know if this issue should go somewhere else.

Cheers and thanks for the great lib!

Just point it at a favicon file! Using the default favicon is silly anyway.

[mateodelnorte]

Agreed, for this package. Perhaps Express should default install one for you instead of defaulting to an error.

We fixed this issue is master, I think we just need to update the dependency in express. I think there was a plan to make it throw if you didn't specify a path, otherwise just don't use the middleware if you don't have a favicon.

[mateodelnorte]

Cool. Gracias.

if there's no favicon, it should just return a 404. this would at least get rid of those issues where there are "multiple requests"
