Hi Hector,

You can register a response for favicon.ico like this (pseudo-code, not tested):

'''
from pkg_resources import resource_stream

from zope.interface import Interface
import grok

class Favicon(grok.View):
    grok.context(Interface)
    grok.name('favicon.ico')

    def render(self):
        self.request.response.setHeader('Content-Type',
'image/vnd.microsoft.icon')
        return resource_stream('mypackage', 'path/to/favicon.ico')
'''

HTH,
