XEP-0084 already has the ability to reference multiple formats and multiple sizes. Including some hosted on HTTP servers. That's exactly why I want to make HTTP Upload permanent. So we can put one small 64x64 PNG in PEP and all other avatars onto HTTP. > Also while HTTP upload is handy, I still think that we have far better tools > with Jingle, I only see HTTP upload as an ad-hoc quick and dirty solution, not > as something we should use to build more elaborate things. So your suggestion is to wake up the other client and generate traffic on the other client (Jingle) every time someone wants to download an avatar? Also this prevents users from downloading avatars while the other client is offline. cheers Daniel _______________________________________________ Standards mailing list Info: https://mail.jabber.org/mailman/listinfo/standards Unsubscribe: standards-unsubscr...@xmpp.org _______________________________________________
