In DevServer mode request for /favicon.ico is proxied to the back-end

[mihhail-lapushkin]

Does anyone else have this problem?
This started happening with react-scripts >= 1.0.0
Using Chrome 58.0.3029.110 and react-scripts 1.0.4

In index.html everything is same:

<link rel="shortcut icon" href="%PUBLIC_URL%/favicon.ico">

Same for me when I use the proxy property in package.json, which makes sense.
Probably because of react-dev-utils/WebpackDevServerUtils.js#L273 ?

Could be related to changes to proxy handling in #1790.

I’m confused why logo.svg does not attempt to go through the proxy but favicon.ico does.

I guess there’s a bigger issue here: every file in public folder tries to go through the proxy. This is a critical bug, as it breaks any app relying on public folder.

Fixed in react-scripts@1.0.5.
