Based on the documentation of -m, viz:

       -m
       --mirror
           Turn on options suitable for mirroring.  This option turns on
           recursion and time-stamping, sets infinite recursion depth and
           keeps FTP directory listings.  It is currently equivalent to -r
           -N -l inf --no-remove-listing.

I suggest defining "--favicon" specifically to download
http(s)://xxxx/favicon.ico, and then add --favicon to the specification
of --mirror.

I have not considered what are the proper valu(es) of "http(s)://xxxx".
