What went wrong? 🤔

I cannot display a favicon even if I specify it in the run arguments
The favicon is 96x96 pixels in png

Expected Behavior

My favicon to be displayed

Steps to Reproduce Issue

from taipy.gui import builder as tgb
from taipy.gui import Gui
from pathlib import Path
favicon_path = Path("favicon.png")
with tgb.Page() as page:
    if favicon_path.exists():
        tgb.text("The favicon exists ")
    tgb.text("Where is my favicon?")
    
Gui(page,).run(debug=True, use_reloader=True, port=5111, favicon=str(favicon_path))

Oki I found 2 problems

On a local instance, the path of the favicon cannot be favicon.png because it is overriden by the default Taipy favicon. Changing the name/path of the favicon makes it appears

Another problem arises when we work on ssh remote. I use VSCode on a remote SSH server to code and launch my Taipy app. In that case the path given to the favicon is an absolute path which does not takes into consideration the host ad port given to the App. This leads to html not being able to access the favicon file since it looks at the wrong location
Streamlit for example seems to store the favicon given in a media forlder on the host-port location : http://localhost:8503/media/9b77d3f0ca999423497db742fb255c034ecb4924efdc45a52bfa886a.png
Maybe taipy should use a similar approach?
