/favicon.ico returns 406

[garethrees]

$ curl --silent -I https://www.whatdotheyknow.com/favicon.ico | head -n 1
HTTP/2 406

The favicon is rendered, but via an asset URL with digest, e.g.:

<link rel="icon" type="image/x-icon" href="/assets/favicon-afe76651f859e6a7b6b153def0358ae1b959842c02fdc46bc3adca58eb6395b2.ico" />

Not just mySociety-hosted installs, so probably an issue in Alaveteli somewhere:

$ curl --silent -I https://madada.fr/favicon.ico | head -n 1
HTTP/1.1 406 Not Acceptable

Might be an issue with the symlinking non-digest asset task.

This is due to some browsers on respecting the link tag in the HTML page header. The favicon is at /assets/favicon.ico. I have added an Apache rewrite rule to handled these.

Presumably this fixes it just for us? Should Alaveteli come with an update to config/httpd.conf-example?

Ooh I will have to test this.
