Whitelisting favicon

WARNING:tornado.general:403 GET /voila/files/favicon.ico (::1): File not whitelisted

Should we have a favicon? I think it would be nice.

For people coming from here google, this can already be accomplished by passing --VoilaConfiguration.file_whitelist="['favicon.ico'] argument to voila and putting the favicon.ico file into the same directory as your notebooks.
For more general examples, see: https://voila.readthedocs.io/en/latest/customize.html#serving-static-files.

I guess this issue is about whitelisting the favicon.ico file by default?

I think so yes. Especially if the warning is constantly in the logs.

Hello, I tried launching voila with --VoilaConfiguration.file_allowlist="['favicon.ico']", where the favicon.ico file is in the same directory as the notebook and the favicon doesn't appear. Any ideas why?
