gravatar event plugin does not cache
Posted: Thu Dec 14, 2006 12:48 am
Hello, the Gravatar Event Plugin 1.14 has the problem that pickAvatar has a $cache parameter and a $cache static. The later is used for favatars and should be named $cache_dir.
The effect of this is, that gravatars are never cached.
Also: the $cache value should be used for favatars instead of the hardcoded value.
Also: right now gravatar.com is returning images for unknown users with no HTTP error code. I am not sure if that is a temporary problem or intentional. I mailed gravatar owner but did not get feedback.
It is possible to recognize those icons by size and ETag.

BTW: the not cache bug is critical - privacy issue.
