Unexpected favicons
![]() ![]() |
Your script is great and IMHO should be part of Google News itself. However, I've got a pair of favicons that I'm unable to find out where they come from... (??) Look ==> http://img75.imageshack.us/img75/4751/grfavicon... Download Blog RSS feed is http://www.downloadblog.it/rss2.xml while Planet Mozilla RSS feed is http://planet.mozilla.org/rss20.xml. In both cases getFavicon returns the correct favicon but Google Reader keeps showing what you see in the screenshot above. P.S. This is not related to the last script version since the problem has been here for months. |

I forget to say that I'm using Firefox 3.5.x on Windows XP.

Previous versions favicons were 'http://'+ site hostname + '/favicon.ico'.
Example ==> http://www.downloadblog.it/favicon.ico. Example ==> Google Search Page = 404 not found ==> Default favicon. Last version ==> 'http://getfavicon.appspot.com/http://' + site hostname. Example ==> http://getfavicon.appspot.com/http://www.downloadblog.it. Example ==> Google Search. http://www.downloadblog.it ==> favicon is http://static.blogo.it/images/favicon_downloadblog.ico. http://planet.mozilla.org ==> favicon is http://planet.mozilla.org/img/mozilla-16.png It's too hard to get correct favicon. Sorry. |

But my situation is the opposite you describe.
Planet Mozilla favicon is OK.

Feeds information(XML) ===> http://www.google.com/reader/subscriptions/export.
This script is using this xml. (outline text="Planet Mozilla" title="Planet Mozilla" type="rss" xmlUrl="http://planet.mozilla.org/rss20.xml" htmlUrl="http://planet.mozilla.org/") |

Just for your information, after your last post my Google News Reader suddenly started to work as expected ==> http://yfrog.com/0ugnrfaviconokp Dunno what happened, however thanks again for this script. |
