Why the Netserver Webgui doesn't have a favicon?

I’d put

 <link rel="apple-touch-icon-precomposed" href="/usr/share/nethesis/nethserver-manager/images/favicon.png" />

But it’s not work
I’d try to replace the existing line by

<link rel="icon"  type="image/png"  href="/usr/share/nethesis/nethserver-manager/images/favicon.png" />

With the same result… Not work

href value is a web URL, not a filesystem path!

It should a sort of https://server_name:980/images/favicon.png ?

Edit: how to find this path? As server_name can be everything?

PHP knows it: copy the href value from the line below

<?php echo $view['favicon'] ?>

it seem that it’s more vicious yet that I think
Here, the Favicon is present:

There are tree workaround:

There are an HTML5 recommendation ignored by Apple and Google.
Ios5 and above, and some Android devices use <link rel="apple-touch-icon" href="somepath/image.png" />
Safari, on OS X, seem work but with a function WebClip that bring another problem.

Can I recommend the traditional favicon.ico solution?

Why there’s a favicon.png is in /etc
