Summary: Special-case for the self-handle in GetKnownAvatarTokens
is counterintuitive.
Product: Telepathy
Version: unspecified
Platform: Other
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: medium
Component: telepathy-spec
AssignedTo: [email protected]
ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
For any non-self-handle, GetKnownAvatarTokens only returns the token if it is
already known. For self-handle, it is required to know the token for the
avatar if one is set, and only to omit the self-handle from the results if it's
really unset. Clients are meant to rely on this special case to figure out
whether they need to re-set the avatar on connect because your avatar doesn't
persist between connections on the protocol in question.
It seems awkward to use a side-effect of this method's surprising definition to
figure this out. We might want to add RequestSelfAvatarToken, or add a flag
saying that we have our own token.
