Description Chí-Thanh Christopher Nguyễn gentoo-dev

https://archives.gentoo.org/ fetches its favicon with the following code:

<link rel="icon" href="http://www.gentoo.org/favicon.ico" type="image/x-icon">

This causes a browser security warning about a partially encrypted SSL website. A way to resolve this would be omitting the "http:" as per the following example:

<link rel="icon" href="//www.gentoo.org/favicon.ico" type="image/x-icon">
