favicon.txt?

1. Sean Conner (sean (a) conman.org)


  I'm going through the logs for my Gemini server, specifically errors, and
while the majority due to clients hitting some corner cases in references,
there are a few that really stick out to me.

  There are the 27 requests for "favicon.txt", and I have to wonder what's
up with that?  The file is "favicon.ico".  I suppose I could return the .ico
file for any reference to "favicon.*" but I think that might be too cruel.

  Then there are the 5 requests for "c2lnaWwlM0".  No clue on that one
either.

  And then there's the 2 requests for "http://www.conman.org".  I'm sorry,
but the web server is over there, at port 80.

It's Michael's (mozz) draft RFC for an emoji based favicon for Gemini.

See gemini://mozz.us/files/rfc_gemini_favicon.gmi . There was also a
gemlog post about it.

Talking of which, should Gemini servers adopt the /.well-known/ convention [1][2][3]?

Including for robots.txt, favicon.ico, etc, etc, etc...

[1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_/.well-known/_services_offered_by_webservers
[2] https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc8615

It was thus said that the Great colecmac at protonmail.com once stated:

  Ah.  Okay.  I'll play along then.

  Should?  I don't see why not.

  Well, the list of registered well known URLs don't include any of those,
so I'm not sure of the utility, but ... okay?
