SVG favicons fail to generate data URIs #139

Closed shawnmjones closed 6 years ago

shawnmjones commented 6 years ago

Some favicons are not ICO, but SVG. The Pillow library does not work with SVG content directly, hence MementoEmbed does not convert SVG to data URIs.

The following library may be useful for detecting SVG content: https://pypi.org/project/python-magic/.

Once an SVG is detected, it can be converted to PNG. See https://cairosvg.org.
