Windows Live image not showing up
I just found out that the model.AuthenticatedClient.UserInformation.Picture property is empty when signing in with Windows Live, although it has been set in my Windows Live Profile
Hey,
There's no scope for getting the users profile pircture, no way to know if the user has a picture or not.
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/live/hh243646.aspx#accessing
You can access the users profile picture by sending a GET request to https://apis.live.net/v5.0/* user id */picture
I didn't include this because I didn't want to handle the checking to see if it was successful or not, it's not a scope we can guarantee exists.
@PureKrome should we attempt to see if the image exists, and include it in the claims, and do the same with Facebook?
I would say "yes please".

@phillip-haydon i think we should, also. It's easy to use rest-sharp to do a quick 'check'. I say - lets add it for sure!
Also, I need to see what happens if i try a link where the user does NOT have a pic. Is it like gravatar and sets a 'default' pic? If so, do we want to show that? If yes - then we don't need to check .. we just hardcode the Picture property value with the dynamic userId.
Definitely want to investigate it.
