Ok, so I have my site setup with SSL and it works great, images are downloaded from sources to preserve HTTPS but in an external link onebox the favicon.ico will not / can not download? And is breaking the https.
Did you check in your settings to see if are referring to it as https?

Sorry, to be clear, this is a onebox from a different site.

Oops! Sorry. It’s not one of my areas of expertise, but I’m guessing that’s a problem that can’t easily be fixed. The only way that I can see would be for Discourse to serve its own copy of those, which it does for most images unless that site setting has been changed.

I have the setting set to download images which works great but it can’t work for .ico files?

If you add .ico to authorized extensions it works?

I’ve added the .ico am I right in thinking this will now download the .ico and serve it locally?

So perhaps .ico should be added to authorized_extensions by default and this is a

I guess your right, they were introduced into onebox in 1.9 I think
EDIT it looks like a topic related to Plugin "TopicListPreview"
Discussion: https://meta.discourse.org/t/topic-list-previews/41630/764
these favicons “from http-only websites” are getting disturbing now with current chrome/firefox.
in other words: $USERS are complaining about “why is forum inscecure”
Off course i do explain, what “mixed content” means. But out of 2 which complain (where i do explain) there are probly 10 who do NOT complain, but just assume (silently) "discourse-forum=insecure"
and this even happens on the front page of the forum, where there is no onebox visible. (i do not know the background, but the requested URLs are favicons from oneboxes deep down in some threads.)
The site does show as insecure until the image is downloaded by discourse, not sure if there is a way around it…
discourse doesn’t seem to download favicons due to size? or “copyright contstraints”?
(I am just speculating.)

Add .ico to your allowed extensions and discourse will download them but it does take time to download, it is not instant

But no change, even after multiple Reloads:
Any hints?

Can you move it perhaps to https://meta.discourse.org/t/topic-list-previews/41630/764
(because my issue is NOT related to onebox)
