Browser is not making any call for favicon

Question

I have an spring application and i want to show favicon image.
In my case browser is not making any call favicon image by itself.
I tried

<link rel="shortcut icon" href="<spring:url value="/assests/login/img/favicon.ico"/>"></link>

I also tried setting profile attribute in head

<head profile="http://www.w3.org/2005/10/profile">

in both cases browser is not making any call for favicon

What browser are you using? e.g. Chrome caches favicons quite strongly. — Daniele Torino, Jan 05 '15 at 11:01
I tested in chrome and firefox, also checked restarting browsers and clearing caches — Ravi Sahu, Jan 05 '15 at 11:02
Yeah that's what I meant when I said strongly. Try the solution from http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2208933/how-do-i-force-a-favicon-refresh. — Daniele Torino, Jan 05 '15 at 11:29

What about this :

<link rel="shortcut icon" type="image/png" href="/assests/login/img/favicon.ico" />

or :

<link rel="icon" type="image/png" href="/assests/login/img/favicon.ico" />
