           Summary: favicons should be saved to webarchives
           Product: WebKit
           Version: 528+ (Nightly build)
          Platform: Macintosh
        OS/Version: Mac OS X 10.5
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: WebCore Misc.
        AssignedTo: webkit-unassigned at lists.webkit.org
        ReportedBy: ddkilzer at webkit.org
                CC: beidson at apple.com


* SUMMARY
When a webarchive of a page is saved, the favicon is never saved with the
webarchive.  It does not matter whether the favicon is specified in a <link
rel="icon"> tag or whether it's at the default path (/favicon.ico) of the web
server.

* STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Navigate to a web site with a favicon.  Example: <http://digg.com/>
2. Save the page as a webarchive.
3. Convert the webarchive to "xml1" format using plutil.
4. Open the text-based webarchive in a text editor.
5. Search for "favicon" or the URL of the <link rel="icon"> tag.

* RESULTS
None of the saved resources in the webarchive include the favicon.

* REGRESSION
This is not a regression.  I don't believe the favicon was ever saved.

* NOTES
Because the favicon is loaded by completely different code than the rest of the
resources on a web page, a special case must be added for it when saving a
webarchive.
