I get req.params.id = 'favicon.ico' when I send GET /whatever to custom route 'GET /:id'

Question

(Sails.js)

How to ignore the favicon browser request and get the id that I want?

router.js

  'GET /:id': 'UrlController.findOne'

UrlController.js

  /**

   * `UrlController.findOne()`

   */

  findOne: function (req, res) {

    var id = req.param('id');



    console.log(id);



    Url.findOne({where: {id: id}}).exec(function(err, url) {

      return res.redirect(url.target);

    })

  },

Any way to simply prioritize static files before routes?

I found a more elegant solution:

Change:

router.js

  'GET /:id': 'UrlController.findOne'

To:

  'GET /:id': {
    controller: "UrlController",
    action: "findOne",
    skipAssets: true
  },

Also thanks to all for guiding me towards the solution.
