> An express.js middleware for handling noisy favicon.ico

Modern browsers usually asks for favicon of the website. Having a favicon in a Web page is a good thing (normally). 

However it is not always desired and sometime developers need a way to avoid the extra payload. 

Nice way to handle that is to send 204 status code for `/favicon.ico` requests.

## Install

```sh
npm install request-favicon
```

## Example

```javascript
const express = require('express');
const favicon = require('request-favicon');

const app = express();
app.use(favicon());

// Add your routes here, etc.

app.listen(3000);
```
