    <p>I need some help with showing the favicon on my site while using ASP.NET MVC.</p> <p>The problem in short is that whenever a request is made for </p> <ul> <li><a href="http://example.com/favicon.ico" rel="nofollow">http://example.com/favicon.ico</a> OR</li> <li><a href="http://example.com/Content/favicon.ico" rel="nofollow">http://example.com/Content/favicon.ico</a></li> </ul> <p>the request never gets served. Firefox says : </p> <blockquote> <p>Content Encoding Error - The page you are trying to view cannot be shown because it uses an invalid or unsupported form of compression.</p> </blockquote> <p>I have tried ignoring the route using the following ignore route strategies, obviously not all at the same time ;-)</p> <pre><code>routes.Add(new Route("favicon.ico", new StopRoutingHandler())); routes.IgnoreRoute("{*favicon}", new { favicon = @"(.*/)?favicon.ico(/.*)?" }); routes.IgnoreRoute("Content/{file}", new { file = @".*" }); </code></pre> <p>I can confirm that it is ignoring the route because I subclassed the controller factory and it does not call <code>CreateController</code> The kicker is this, I also have a png version of the file and it does get served. I have also checked it with fiddler and whenever I try to request the ico directly through url I get a pop-up that says something like this:</p> <blockquote> <p>The magic number in GZip header is not correct. Make sure you are passing in a GZip stream.</p> </blockquote> <p>So it seems that somehow IIS is trying to send it back compressed? How do I stop this behavior/make it work?</p> <p>Any insights?</p> <p><strong>UPDATE:</strong></p> <p>I figured it out, the web.config had a custom httpmodule that dealt with serving physical files and it was trying to compress the file output. That doesn't work when you have image files. :-)</p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
