            Bug ID: 156727
           Summary: Remove remaining bits of dynamic <link> rel='icon'
                    loading
    Classification: Unclassified
           Product: WebKit
           Version: WebKit Nightly Build
          Hardware: Unspecified
                OS: Unspecified
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: WebKit Misc.
          Assignee: webkit-unassigned at lists.webkit.org

WebKit emits an "onbeforeload" event when various link operations are conducted. In Bug 153151 I stopped the old (unused) behavior of notifying clients of new favicon updates. However, I retained the code that emitted an 'onbeforeload' event.

We should not emit this non-standard event for these dynamic favicon loads, since we do not support this feature, and should not advertise that we are performing a load that we are actually ignoring.

This breaks one test:

    webarchive/test-link-rel-icon-beforeload.html

To keep things working properly, I intend to switch the link to a 'subresource' (which still emits the event) to keep the test functioning properly.

I will rename it to

    webarchive/test-link-rel-subresource-beforeload.html
