We wanted the icon in the sidebar to be web-ish, so we added a special 
case to the icon factory. It is indeed possible to make this icon appear 
in the sidebar and bookmarks list only, showing a different icon in the 
icon and list views that is not different for files that come via http. I 
think it might be a small improvement if we do that, but it requires 
adding appropriate API to the icon factory so it can yield different icons 
in these two different circumstances.

It's not worth it for me to work on this at the moment, but I'd be willing 
to help someone else if they want to tackle it.
