[JDEV] JEP-8 User Avatars in Jabber

[Klaus H. Wolf]

Hi,

is JEP-8 still considered active?
Is it worth discussing and worth as a guideline?

If yes, here the comment:
- JEP-8 proposes 2 methods for retrieving the avatar data: client-client and
client-storage
- it prefers client-client
- I discovered the following behaviour: if the client changes the avatar,
then many other clients request the new data, and the server throttles the
connection because of e.g. 10 x 5 KB.

Solution:
- prefer client-storage over client-client.
- if the client gets a request then it knows it must submit to the storage
to avoid further requests.

Regards
