           Summary: favicon not shown while properly defined in HTML tag
                    link rel="icon" type="image/png": related to HTTPS /
                    HTTP?

Version:           3.3.2 (using KDE 3.3.2,  (3.1))
Compiler:          gcc version 3.3.5 (Debian 1:3.3.5-6)

Hello,

At https://gna.org/index.php the favicon is not shown, at https://savannah.gnu.org/ and https://savannah.cern.ch/ it is.

These 3 sites use the same software, same version, the same icon and the same HTML to render icon:

  <link rel="icon" type="image/png" ref="/images/$theme.theme/icon.png" />

The icon is perfectly loaded by mozilla on the 3 sites.

The only sensible explanation I can come up with is that Konqueror disregard the ref= content and assume it can goes http, not https, to get the icon, even if the loaded page is https.
This works on 2 sites that provides both http and https. This indeed does not work on the third website that provides only https.

I think that konqueror should not assume that http or anyelse protocol is available. If he got a relative path, with no protocol specified, he should stick to it. HTTPS it is? HTTPS is will be.

But maybe that's not the cause of the problem. Tell me if you need more details.

Thanks,
Regards,
