                    documents
           Product: WebKit
           Version: 523.x+ (nightly)
          Platform: Macintosh
               URL: http://webkit.org/favicon.ico
        OS/Version: Mac OS X 10.4

          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P1

        AssignedTo: webkit-unassigned at lists.webkit.org

* SUMMARY
Viewing a favicon in WebKit (Safari) always causes the image to be downloaded.

* STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Launch Safari/WebKit.
2. Open a URL to a favicon:  http://webkit.org/favicon.ico

* EXPECTED RESULTS
The favicon should be rendered as an image document in the browser.

* ACTUAL RESULTS
The favicon is downloaded.

* REGRESSION
This is a regression from Safari 2.0.4 (419.3) with original WebKit on Mac OS X
10.4.10 (8R218).  Tested with a local debug build of WebKit r26851 with Safari
3 Public Beta v. 3.0.3 (522.12.1) on Mac OS X 10.4.10 (8R218).

* NOTES
The official IANA-registered MIME type for these icons is
image/vnd.microsoft.icon according to Wikipedia:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ICO_(icon_image_file_format)

The historical MIME type used was image/x-icon.  We should probably support
both.
