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 -
