Hi,
I am making a browser app in AI but I am I almost finished, but there is 1 problem.
I need to get a page favicon to show a 'tab'.
Now, the issue is, I tried using the web component, using a simple thing of just
Get current URL,
join it with the URL www.google.com/s2/favicons?domain=[insert domain here]
and get it
except that doesn't work.
I also have CustomWebViewer but there's no block(s) to get a favicon.
Please help!
what about trying a search in the community?

I tried this but alas it did not work.
you forgot to tell us what exactly you tried...
there are many options...

I tried both, which are the same solution. I get a 1109 error when testing because the URL is invalid. (Do I have to somehow subtract the items after the / in a URL?)
What is the url you are having trouble with ?
I tried testing with a Google search page, but got the 1109 error.
Here it is for https://google.com:
<link href="//www.gstatic.com/images/branding/searchlogo/ico/favicon.ico" rel="icon">
thanks, but I need to load a favicon for all pages the user goes to, using the www.google.com/s2/favicons?domain= method.
Wait! i have figured it out!
Using this method:
https://t3.gstatic.com/faviconV2?client=SOCIAL&type=FAVICON&fallback_opts=TYPE,SIZE,URL&url=
then appending URL at URL= will work even for / pages.
For google.com:
https://www.google.com/s2/favicons?domain=https://google.com
That www is important.
this seemed to break my request to get it, now I am getting an error 1101.
here is the .aia for reference.

I also seem to have another issue, when I try to load a normal site, Google for instance, it searches the URL...
No, but you just did.
If you have a question, then ask it.
oh.
Anyway, I've got even more issues here now.
The smart search system I made (check for a space in a text field) is broken. When I try to go to another URL it adds an additional https:// to the URL and breaks it.
Here is an updated AIA file aswell.

It should be able to work for all domains.
Can you test it with my smart search mechanic if possible?
Oh, and I did also use the method you are using, about to test now.
I don't even know what's wrong. I can go to these sites in Chrome.
