[Licq-devel] Re: Patch with support of server stored user pictures

> - unsupported types that i've seen are: 0x02, 0x08.
Icon types do not described in http://iserverd.khstu.ru/oscar/
but most complete list of them I have found in sources of miranda:
// 0000: AIM avatar ?
// 0001: AIM/ICQ avatar ID/hash (len 5 or 16 bytes)
// 0002: iChat online message
// 0008: ICQ Flash avatar hash (16 bytes)
// 0009: iTunes music store link
// 000C: ICQ contact photo (16 bytes)
// 000D: ?
// 000E: Custom Status (ICQ6)

I had thought that without big changes we can handle only 01 and 0C,
which are simple pictures (jpg, gif, png). But I don't test 0C case
because can't find any contact with ssbi type 0C. Even in test account
I have created with Icq6 ssbi has type 01.

Type 08 as can understand from sources of miranda is swf file or xml
with link to swf. I don't know if it is possible to show
macromedia/adobe flash in Qt.

> I have received the correct icon somehow...
Yes, it is possible, because for one contact you can receive several
SNAC(03,0B), which can hold different descriptions of ssbi.
I think this is true for not picture ssbi types, such
02 or 09.

Why? It is possible to send ssbi request for your own uin,
but I haven't add this functionality yet as i wrote in first message.

Thanks for testing :)
