404 for images
I get a number of 404s recently so I just noticed the particular recurring error
The page <txp:site_url />/apple-touch-icon-precomposed.png does not exist.
As png is not a page but an image is there a way for the error message to reflect that?

You could create a custom error page with a message more to your liking.

Hi ruud
I do have a custom error page but how do I make it recognise the difference between an image and a page? Shouldn’t <txp:error_status /> and <txp:error_message /> recognize this difference?

It’s safe to say that no one will see any error message as it isn’t human browsing to that particular location. It just happens to be that all iOS devices (mobile Safari) look for that png from site’s root.
If I were you, I would create that image for your site as it’s used on Apple’s mobile devices as the homescreen’s bookmark icon.
Alternatively if you don’t fancy about images, and creating one for your site, you should block the request. Just like with favicon.ico, and other auto-fetched files, do not let Textpattern to handle the automatic requests, but let Apache to handle (block) it. You probably don’t want to waste server resources to something no one sees ;)
Basically you can extend the Textpattern’s .htaccess file to include apple-touch-icon-precomposed.png and apple-touch-icon.png in addition to favicon.ico.

Thanks Jukka
I have no smart mobile device so there is no way for me to check it but I’ll research about the specs for smart phone icons.
