    [greg-dev] Caching of favicons

    Hello,
    
    as of changeset [982] remote favicons are now stored in the database,
    and served with ETag and Expiration headers.
    
    The main advantage is that if the remote site goes down your Gregarius
    experience won't be spoiled by the remote favicon requests timing out.
    
    Another benefit is that icons are always served with the
    "image/x-icon" mime type, which Internet Explorer is supposed to like
    (better.)
    
    Oh, the feature is still experimental (meaning you cannot turn it off ;)
    
    To use it simply edit your feed properties and submit the unchanged
    form. Gregarius will fetch the remote icon and dump it into the cache
    table as a blob.
    
    Alternatively export your feedroll as OPML and re-import it (use
    another table prefix if you don't want to lose your items!)
    
    
    If you care to test please report any oddities (read: disappearing
    favicons) you might notice here.
    
     -m
