You're right. I just missed a line before "return f.read()":
web.header("Content-Type","image/x-icon")
Sure this is not the optimal solution for production, it just answers
the question made by Bruce Eckel, favicon is served entirely by
web.py, no matter if under Apache or not, and is also valid even in
cases in which you are not serving HTML pages.
Thank you!
