Favicon - fetching and default icon

[anonymous]

1. The fetching of favicons is unreliable for some feeds, such as those that are nested deep within folders or use FeedBurner? for syndication.

Examples:

http://boingboing.net/index.xml http://www.livejournal.com/community/ucberkeley/data/rss

Possible solution: Search for favicon.ico for every folder level. In the second example, ../rss/favicon.ico, ../data/favicon.ico, and so on. LiveJournal?'s favicon is at livejournal.com/favicon.ico, so an alternative method is to just search the top level.

2. Create a default favicon for feeds to make the Feeds side panel neater

There is a default icon as of 0.5.0 and I don't really feel like crawling entire web hierarchies looking for icons: the standard says (?) it should be in the root directory, and importing OPML is way too slow already to slow it down even further.

I was the not the original poster, but I think the default icon as of 0.5.0 in the default theme should not be blank. If it is blank then this is the same as having no icon. Maybe we could make noicon.png have something in it so that the feeds sidepanel looks neater.
