logo key doesn't support data URIs

webpack 2.2.0
favicons-webpack-plugin 0.0.7

Similar to this issue here, I'm unable to use a data URI for a favicon image. The error below is what is given when trying to do so.

EntryModuleNotFoundError: Entry module not found: Error: Can't resolve 'data:image/x-icon;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAABAAAAAQEAYAAABPYyMiAAAABmJLR0T///////8JWPfcAAAACXBIWXMAAABIAAAASABGyWs+AAAAF0lEQVRIx2NgGAWjYBSMglEwCkbBSAcACBAAAeaR9cIAAAAASUVORK5CYII=' in '/fake/project/path'

This would be possible however webpack itself doesn't support base64 images for loaders which would cause a lot of work arounds.

Thanks for the feedback! I'm not too familiar with how webpack works underneath the hood but this seems like an oversight no? Regardless, I might just use a blank PNG then for this if it's not going to be supported.

Cheers

What do loaders have to do with this? If I want to use a base64 encoded image as a data URI, it doesn't need to run through a loader. It's supported in the browser.
