title: remove favicon.ico request in mule
body: <p>I am using mule studio,
  and I am trying out examples on it.</p>
  
  <p>When ever i do a HTTP browser request, 2 requests come simultaneously,
  in which first one is /favicon.ico and the second request is the actual request.</p>
  
  <p>My configuration XML is as follows.</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?&gt;

  <p>When ever I do a Http browser request:
  lh:8046/manasa-sundarraman</p>
  
  <p>the flow gets executed twice as 2 requests arise.
  The requests are :
  1) /favicon.ico
  2) /manasa-sunderraman</p>
  
  <p>My question is what is that /favicon.ico ?
  Why it is coming as a request ?
  How to avoid it ?</p>
