Favicon.ico on SSL

[GeeWond3r]

I'm able to have my distinguished icon be bookmarked A OK, eXcePt for those SSL enabled sites. Is there any way to enable the favicon to show up when bookmarked w/ ssl's https:?

I've not tried this, but it's worth a go... Instead of something like this:

<link rel="shortcut icon" href="favicon.ico" type="image/x-icon">
<link rel="icon" href="favicon.ico" type="image/x-icon">

try putting the full sitename and http protocol in:

<link rel="shortcut icon" href="[URL unfurl="true"]http://www.yourdomain.com/favicon.ico"[/URL] type="image/x-icon">
<link rel="icon" href="[URL unfurl="true"]http://www.yourdomain.com/favicon.ico"[/URL] type="image/x-icon">

and if that fails, try changing the "http" to "https"... I know it sounds like a classic poke-and-hope... but sometimes you just have to do that to find if things work or not ;o)

Hope this helps,
Dan

You might find the "http" references will cause a "Display non-secure items" warning (depending on the settings of your browser), so I'd suggest using the "https" reference.

Are other images caching? Some web servers don't allow browser caching of secure images / attachments. Just a thought.
