i found reply here:

http://serverfault.com/questions/308299/how-to-set-a-favicon-ico-for-a-specific-virtual-host-on-nginx#answer-308304

apparently, nginx, default set favicon @ root directory, because nginx directs clients favicon www.domainname.com/favicon.ico default.

this means that, (i think) nginx reverse proxy, favicon request never reaches express layer, , hence can't serve it.

express nginx
