reddit.com displays gray icon on the iOS NTP |
||||||||||||||||||||||||
Issue descriptionI'm visiting https://www.reddit.com/ frequently. This site has a favicon but in the new tab page (NTP), it show a grey square with an R letter like when there are no icons. I initially visited https://www.reddit.com/ by typing reddit in the omnibox, getting a suggestion that completed this to http://reddit.com and typed it. The next time, I started typing reddit, I followed again a suggestion in the omnibox. And then I started using the tile in the NTP. However, the URL that was suggested by the omnibox (http://reddit.com) does a redirection to https://www.reddit.com/ and I've been told that this is the reason no favicon is presented on the NTP. I think NTP should learn that the site I visit frequently is https://www.reddit.com not http://reddit.com then and present the correct favicon on the NTP. Note that the correct title is presented on the NTP even though http://reddit.com is a 301 permanent redirect to https://www.reddit.com and there are no title on that page, so the title comes from the end of the redirect, and I think the whole tile should instead take information from the end of the redirect (i.e. store https://www.reddit.com, use correct favicon, ...) not just the title. $ curl -v http://reddit.com * Rebuilt URL to: http://reddit.com/ * Trying 151.101.193.140... * TCP_NODELAY set * Connected to reddit.com (151.101.193.140) port 80 (#0) > GET / HTTP/1.1 > Host: reddit.com > User-Agent: curl/7.51.0 > Accept: */* > < HTTP/1.1 301 Moved Permanently < Retry-After: 0 < Location: https://www.reddit.com/ < Content-Length: 0 < Accept-Ranges: bytes < Date: Wed, 12 Jul 2017 15:22:10 GMT < Via: 1.1 varnish < Connection: close < X-Served-By: cache-lhr6327-LHR < X-Cache: HIT < X-Cache-Hits: 0 < X-Timer: S1499872931.731524,VS0,VE0 < Cache-Control: private, max-age=3600 < Server: snooserv < * Curl_http_done: called premature == 0 * Closing connection 0 See attached screenshot for: 1.

Yes, it's the same thing. There's a proposal there but we're not working on it at present.

I think there's another issue here specifically about the favicon: it shouldn't be gray.

I think the issue with Reddit is iOS-specific, although indeed somewhat related to 567132: history entries on iOS don't reflect redirects well, and this prevents the favicon code to propagate back the information to all the redirect chain (which works well on Android). So I think this bug rather depends on crbug.com/703872, let me rephrase the bug summary.

I forced myself to type https://www.reddit.com/ on the omnibox multiple time to visit reddit yesterday. The title of the reddit tile on NTP has changed to be the title of one of the subreddit I visited, but the tile is still grey and ntp-tile-internals still says this is the a tile for http://reddit.com/.

It sounds like this is occurring due to a combination of Issue 567132 and Issue 703872. I'll leave this open and assigned to Sylvain just to monitor that when those two issues are fixed, this bug no longer reproduces.
