            Bug ID: 247947
           Summary: favicon doesn't load when using http basic auth
           Product: WebKit
           Version: Safari 16
          Hardware: Unspecified
                OS: Unspecified
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: Page Loading
          Assignee: webkit-unassigned at lists.webkit.org

If a page is protected by HTTP's "basic" authentication, then both Safari and Epiphany fail to show the correct favicon for the page. Instead, Safari shows a letter icon, and Epiphany shows nothing at all.

>From the web logs I can see that WebKit requests the page as normal. Once it has the HTML page, and hence the favicon URL, it then does a request for that. However, it fails to include the authentication data, so it gets a 401 back:

> 2022-11-10 15:36:10 INFO tlwebadm[8378]: [::ffff:10.48.2.194] 'GET /images/icons/icon.ico HTTP/1.1' 401 -
