FWIW, the Flux server already has code to get the avatar url from a
mysql database, based on a user-id.  I think it should compile on most
Linux systems because these days they include the mysql C library as
well as mysql itself.

The user-id is sent to the server through the Connection node in the X3D
file.  I've used the SAI to set that field from an HTML wrapper, which
takes the value out of a browser cookie, which in turn is set by the
login page.



k, I'll try downloading and installing on a linux server,

thanks,

chris
