Ruby library which tries to find the most likely favicon for a given URL.
It does so via HTTP HEAD requests and traversing up the URI path.

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'bildchen', github: 'glaszig/bildchen'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Cached:

Bildchen['http://www.example.com/path/to/somewhere']

Uncached:

bildchen = Bildchen::Resolver.new 'http://www.example.com/path/to/somewhere'
bildchen.resolve

HTTP timeouts default to 5 seconds and can be tuned as follows

Bildchen.timeout = 10
