           Summary: <link rel="icon"> is not loaded or displayed on
                    individual HTML pages
           Product: WebKit
           Version: 420+ (nightly)
          Platform: Macintosh
        OS/Version: Mac OS X 10.4
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Enhancement
          Priority: P2
         Component: Page Loading
        AssignedTo: webkit-unassigned at lists.webkit.org
        ReportedBy: ddkilzer at webkit.org

Summary:

When loading an HTML page with a <link rel="icon"> tag in the <head>, Safari
doesn't load this icon and doesn't display it in the address bar.  Both Opera 9
and Firefox 2 display this icon properly.  Not tested on MSIE 6 yet.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Open Safari.
2. Load test page.

Expected results:

The webkit.org favicon should be loaded (icon should appear in the Activity
Window) and displayed in the address bar when the page is loaded.

Actual results:

The favicon is not loaded and is not displayed in the address bar when the page
is loaded.

Regression:

Shipping Safari 2.0.4 (419.3) on Mac OS X 10.4.8 (8N1037) exhibits the actual
results, so this is not a regression.  Tested with a locally-built debug build
of WebKit r18423.

Notes:

Code in WebKit/DOM/WebDOMOperations.m for DOMHTMLLinkElement leads me to
believe that this icon is expected to be loaded (or was loaded at one time)
since saving a WebArchive uses this code path and will try to save the icon to
the WebArchive file (and fail).
