Hi Gurudutt.

Thanks for sorting out those issues. I am able to use QXmlQuery to scrape the gravatar info once again.

Hey ZapB, I'm back, adding the gravatar info should be doable, I suggest it becomes part of the next version of the API. See "this post":http://developer.qt.nokia.com/forums/viewthread/5451/P15/#35854 for my motivation.

Thanks Marius. From reading on gravatar I think the needed info is just the md5 hash of the registered email address so as you say this should be doable. At least I had a reason to learn about QXmlQuery ;-)

Gravatar hash and member ID will be part of the next release, like this:

@"member_id":"7","gravatar_hash":"f1fad06bfc26dd4ad534c8d6e4d5965c"@

added to the output from a "profile" API request.

Our next release is in 14 days.

Cool. Thanks for that Marius. I'll start modifying my client when it is released. I'll be able to bin the large hack using XQuery then.

@mariusg Yay! Cool. I will add this to my extension too.

Nothing new but a few days ago we added the devnet API documentation with examples here:

Marius, I think URL on the wiki should be "/qtapi/1/member/profile" instead of "/api/1/member/profile"?

On a side note, the QWebService lib I am writing (some of you might remember it from qt5-feedback) is now ready for RESTful, JSON web services. I've recently put together an example that users QtDN API. Getting JSON reply is doable with 1 line of code (although I use 3 lines in my example app). Available on "Gitorious":http://gitorious.org/qwebservice and, in the future, maybe as part of Qt5. I'll probably post more info on it in the future, in a separate thread. Sorry for any typos, I'm using my phone for this post.

BTW: Would appreciate any feedback on API, intuitiveness, usability etc., as well as help in coding.
