Hello, I'm working on a program which update periodically some Twitter accounts avatars. Here is the process: -- while True: GET http://twitter.com/users/show/myuser.xml GET avatar located at the url specified in the profile_image_url XML tag Make some change to the avatar POST the new avatar on http://twitter.com/account/update_profile_image.xml
sleep(some time) -- While the program sleep (between two avatar processing) the user can upload manually a new avatar. My problem is that the value profile_image_url is often outdated an when I try to download the current user avatar using this value I get a 404 error. I guess the address of the avatar is cached, but after how long the users/show page contains the new value? Is there a way to always the get the current (displayed on the twitter.com user profile) avatar ? Thanks !
