title: Google Chrome is showing me tomcat icon instead of my favicon
body: <p>I have an icon favicon.ico its a little orange monster, but when I show my page in chrome I always get the cat from tomcat, my icon works great in FF and IE10 and it used to work on chrome but now doesn't work, I've tried refreshing it and putting different icons on my page but still nothing, I think this happened since my last update, but I can't say it for sure, I really wasn't paying attention for the difficulty in refreshing those icons in chrome.</p>
  
  <p>I have now Versión 24.0.1312.56</p>
  
  <p>My app is hosted by tomcat as I work with servlets buy this hadn't ever been an issue before.</p>
  
  <p>Now when I try to call the icon directly going to:</p>
  
  <pre><code>(http://localhost:8080/mysite/favicon.ico) 
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>chrome downloads it instead of showing it.</p>
  
  <p>I haven't published the site as it is for a local service so I can't show the page but here is the code: </p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;!DOCTYPE html&gt;
  
    &lt;%@ taglib prefix="c" uri="http://java.sun.com/jsp/jstl/core" %&gt;
    &lt;%@ taglib prefix="fmt" uri="http://java.sun.com/jsp/jstl/fmt" %&gt;
    &lt;fmt:setLocale value='es-US'/&gt;
    &lt;html&gt;
      &lt;head&gt;
        &lt;meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1" /&gt;
        &lt;title&gt;Anicom administrativo - Inicio&lt;/title&gt;
        &lt;link rel="shortcut icon" href="../images/favicon.ico" /&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I've looked everywhere but I haven't seemed to find the answer, also I recently changed the site to HTML5 but that didn't seemed to be a problem :(</p>
  
  <p>I've tried putting it in the root folder and calling it with an absolute href but that didn't worked either.</p>
  
  <p>I also changed the icon in different sizes and formats, from png to ico and that didn't worked either.</p>
  
  <p>I run out of ideas... I tried cleaning the favicons folder but somehow I couldn't find it :P also I have several chrome users with old versions of the icon working and I don't know how to refresh it for them tried ctrl+shift+R and deleting the cache and none of this worked :(</p>
  
  <p>Hope you can help me.</p>
  
  <p>Thanks.</p>
