404 data image

I have been using xenu to examine the site and in the report I am getting loads of 404 error on data image files such as data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAgArALMA xxxxxxxxxxxxx. They are all linked from cache//templates/.css files, is there anything I should do or should I not worry about it.



Thanks

Nothing to worry about…they are called “data URL's” and reduce the number of http connections to improve page load times in IE8+ and all other modern browsers. Hence CS-Cart has an if statement for the user_agent to display a separate CSS file which has the full image URL to load as a separate resource. See more about it here
