Description Alexander Larsson 2011-08-26 00:06:10 UTC

I don't seem to be getting any avatars for my facebook xmpp account.
This post indicates that maybe facebook is sending an invalid reply:

If its not possible to get the facebook avatars via xmpp maybe we could use a direct http url to download the avatar:

I've just tested, and it seems this has been fixed on Facebook's side:

_end_element_ns: Received stanza

(Also: that's a *delicious* resource right there.)
