用于从电子邮件地址检索头像图像的RFC

更新时间:2023-02-25 12:03:25

目前没有RFC。要验证您可以搜索现有的RFC,请访问: https://www.rfc-editor.org/retrieve/



此外,创建RFC的过程是不平凡的。但是,如果您在实验或信息类别中使用RFC,您可以考虑独立提交过程,详细信息如下: https://www.rfc-editor.org/about/independent/


AFAIK there is no RFC or other standard to retrieve an avatar (image/icon) from an email address.

I think this would be a great feature.

One possible solution:

Get avatar via DNS

  1. user enters his email address.
  2. The domain belonging to this email adress DNS gets asked: Avatar for "foo@example.com"
  3. DNS replies: Get image from URL. For example: http://example.com/foo.png

Questions

  • Is there already a RFC or other standard?
  • Why is there no such standard yet?
  • How to get it come true?

I know that Gravatar exists. But AFAIK it is not a standard.

Currently there is no RFC for this. To verify you can search the existing RFC's at: https://www.rfc-editor.org/retrieve/

Also, the process to create an RFC is non-trivial. However, if you are ok with an RFC in the experimental or informational category, you could consider the Independent Submission process which is detailed at: https://www.rfc-editor.org/about/independent/
