Hi folks,

some of my MyOpenId persona's have avatars. Is there any way to programmatically request them with dotNetOpenId, like i can request email, etc?

I'm assuming it can't be done because i'm guessing they are not part of the standard openid schema?

+1  A: 

There is a way for avatar's to be retrieved, using the AX extension. The specific attribute would likely be one of these, which you can look up at http://www.axschema.org/types/

However, I just tried this against myopenid.com (using their proprietary AX attribute format of http://schema.openid.net/media/image/default) and it didn't seem to work, so my guess is myopenid.com doesn't support it.

Also Andrew, can u chat with the folks at myopenid.com and ask them if they will support it ... or if it's just a bug? will the openId site also use the proper schema in the future?

I have asked them several times to switch to the standard schema. Somehow, it seems like they don't care.I think we should both send requests for the avatar feature, and the type URI standard to them, so more voices help them make the change.

Is there any 'forum' to send this request, to them?

They're pretty responsive at https://www.myopenid.com/feedback
