--- Comment #12 from Simon McVittie <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 2008-01-22 04:51:28 PST --- Mardy: we appear to be in violent agreement, and what you're talking about in the last comment is fine. Gabble already holds avatars in RAM, and ptlo recently fixed it to be able to reply to multiple requests with one AvatarRetrieved signal. For the record: in the current design, other CMs SHOULD cache (at least a few) avatars during the lifetime of the Connection (to avoid repeated round trips to the server), MUST NOT cache avatars beyond the lifetime of a Connection (CMs shouldn't be stateful beyond a Connection's lifetime - that's an invariant of our API), and SHOULD NOT rely on being able to save avatars to the filesystem (they should cache them in RAM). If you still believe the API is unworkable, bring it up with Rob, but please implement it anyway. I don't think re-badgering the Avatars API takes priority over everything else API-related that we're trying to work on (notably, MC).
