[JDEV] associate images with contacts

[Sebastiaan 'CBAS' Deckers]

Take a look here:
http://www.vcard-xml.org/
The DTD has this in it (lines 95-97):

  <!-- Photograph property. Value is either a BASE64 encoded
    binary value or a URI to the external content. -->
  <!ELEMENT PHOTO ((TYPE, BINVAL) | EXTVAL)>

I haven't tested it ... does anyone know if this will work? Is it even
polite to load pictures in a vCard? I know many people (think: newbies) will
try to upload gigantic uncompressed bitmaps ...

Would be cool though, my client uses small images (64x64 GIF's) for
seperating local profiles but storing these on the server opens up a whole
range of features. Or is there a different place on the server to store that
kind of client-specific data?

Bye,
Sebastiaan
