Clever versus time versus need ???
If you go to www.go2web20.com they have a flash app that 'gets'
website graphics and I'm not sure if they are even the original
favicons or where they got them from. But I wouldn't think they got
them all manually?? Anyway, I would like to have a bookmark list in a
text field with imagedata of anything that represents the website and
was thinking that revBrowser snapshot was too big for a text field and
I don't know where or how go2web20 got theirs so it seemed the favicon
was the best choice but....
Anyway, screenscraping seems esay enough but I wonder if getting the
binary is possible. On the Mac Preview will open an .ico file but not
allow a binary from it. Screen capture seems possible or some third
party app but now it is getting complicated.
Ideas????

Some clever revDude could hack out a conversion -- .ico's are only
16x16 (uncompressed?)
1. screenscrape the html of the page for the first .ico file
2. get the file as binary....
3. figure out where the headers, jump tables are, the standards for
ico are out there I'm sure
4. convert to imagedata
....
so few pixels that it could be done easily in rev...

Does anyone know how to capture/get the icon found before the http

I believe that it's always favicon.ico. So for example the one for
runrev would be:
http://www.runrev.com/favicon.ico
if they had one. The one for Adobe is:
