Repeated Requests for apple-touch-icon-precomposed.png with apple-touch-icon set in head
android, html
Solution
See http://www.ravelrumba.com/blog/android-apple-touch-icon/
'... Android 2.1 ... will only use the icon if you link to it with a rel value of “apple-touch-icon-precomposed”.'
So it seems to be 'normal' (doesn't work with the non-precomposed version).

Size for high-resolution iPad: 144 x 144
Problem
I've set paths for my apple-touch-icon files in the head of my page: ``` <link rel="apple-touch-icon" href="/images/apple-touch-icon.png"> <link rel="apple-touch-icon" sizes="72x72" href="/images/apple-touch-icon-72x72.png"> <link rel="apple-touch-icon" sizes="114x114" href="/images/apple-touch-icon-114x114.png"> ``` but every so often I get a batch (more than five at a time) of requests for /apple-touch-icon-precomposed.png from Android users. Is this normal behavior and how do I get it to stop? I know I can add the file but I don't want to have to create a new version of the files and hope I get the same effects. Update We've recently been seeing requests for apple-touch-icon-144x144.png and I haven't found anything online that explains why we would need that (we added it anyways).
