The icon itself is stored in an root file called 'favicon.ico' or something like that - look around on the tutorial pages on creating them. As for downloading them into an NSImage or something - I have no idea - perhaps WebKit has a method for easily downloading one file and parsing the image?

The Camino project uses favicons, so you could pull it down and look at it's code - although that's kind of extreme - it relies on the whole mozilla trunk, which is 475MB compiled (plus the camino xCode project compiled). And the favicon code relies on the mozilla code for downloading, so it's highly unlikely that just that part could be pulled out to use..

I'd think webkit would be the best way to do it, but I don't know how..

I see a few postings asking this question, but I can't find one with a solution. Does anyone know how to get the favicon associated with a url dragged out of a browser? The [ sender draggedImage ] looked likely but it returns ( null ) and I'm not finding any images in the pasteboard.

Thanks,
Denise
