App engine favicon

Not entirely sure what I'm missing here but my favicon will not load. I am able to visit localhost:8080/favicon.ico and see the image but its not in the tab.

app.yaml

  handlers:
  - url: /favicon\.ico
    static_files: static/images/favicon.ico
    upload: static/images/favicon\.ico

index.html

<head>
  <link rel="shortcut icon" href="/favicon.ico">
</head>

dir structure

.
├── static
│   ├── images
│   │   └── favicon.ico

This will work:

- url: /favicon.ico
  static_files: static/images/favicon.ico
  upload: static/images/favicon.ico

and a more complete:

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

If you can get to it directly, your app.yaml is working fine. If the browser is not seeing it, it is most likely a cache issue. Clear the cache, restart the browser.

Here is what I have, which is working, so it might help...

app.yaml:

handlers:
- url: /favicon\.ico
  static_files: favicon.ico
  upload: favicon\.ico
- url: /favicon\.png
  static_files: favicon.png
  upload: favicon\.png

index.html:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html ...>
    <head>
        ...
        <meta property="og:image" content="http://www.my_domain.com/favicon.png"></meta>
        ...
    </head>
</html>

The favicon.ico and favicon.png files are located alongside the app.yaml file.
