Is there a favicon.txt defined somewhere?

H Friends,

i repeatedly see the URL gemini://h2903872.stratoserver.net/favicon.txt 
in my server's log. Neither LaGrange nor the Kristal-Browser are trying 
to access a /favicon.txt/ file. Anyone has an idea where this is coming 
from, weather this is something useful and what should i put into that file?

Thank you very much in advance for your help!

Best regards from Charleston (WV),
 ???? Frank/2

A while ago amfora used to look for favicon.txt, but it was removed:

Some browsers used to look for a favicon.txt that defined an emoji 
favicon. Most later removed this feature after a lack of adoption and 
some pushback from those who did not want this to be part of Gemini.

The specification can be found here:

gemini://mozz.us/files/rfc_gemini_favicon.gmi

As much as i  know my client is the only one  that search for favicon,
because i  doubt it  has a big  userbase (or even  an userbase  :-)) i
guess there must be some other ones (old version of amfora, maybe?).

Anyway, if you want,  just put an emoji in that  URI, you'll make some
people smile! :)

Bye!
C.
