Hello,

Currently the server simply ignore this request and close the connection but it seems that because I am not dealing with, it (chrome client) continues and sends two more. Anything I can do to stop it from repeating this request?

Many thanks

If you have an icon for your website, send that, otherwise just send an HTTP 404 response.

Thank you! added a call to send404 below. The first time it (chrome win and android) asked for favicon once and thereafter it stopped asking even once. I then tried with FF/win and got just the same behavior

void send404(){
  client.println(F("HTTP/1.1 404 Not Found\nConnection: close\n\n"));
  report(F("server-> 404 Not Found sent\r\n"), HI_VERB);
}
