Loading of avatar/Gravatar icon inconsistent

Open michikommader opened this issue 3 years ago • 1 comments

Describe the bug

Loading of the user's avatar/Gravatar icon is inconsistent between different states of the web UI. This can lead to errors in certain deployment environments.

To Reproduce

  1. Log in to GeoNetwork.
  2. After login, the user's avatar icon is retrieved from some local path, for example from http://localhost/geonetwork/srv/api/users/116.png. In my case this is a dummy silhouette icon (looks like this). This icon is used whenever working in sections "Search" or "Map".
  3. After switching to "Contribute" or to "Admin console", the avatar icon is fetched from gravatar.com and represents either your personal picture or the Gravatar default icon.
  4. Switching back to "Search" or "Map" reverts back to the initial icon retrieval.

Expected behavior

Fetching of avatar/Gravatar is consistent throughout all states of the web UI.

Screenshots

gn_avatar_broken Wrong avatar icon when using "Search" or "Map".

gn_avatar_ok Correct avatar icon when using "Contribute" or "Admin console".

Log file

On my local development machine this issue does not cause any errors because the locally requested icon 116.png is somehow successfully accessed from http://localhost/geonetwork/srv/api/users/116.png.

But in my productive server environment, behind proxies and being accessed via HTTPS, this frequently causes HTTP 500 responses because the (local ?) icon fetching in sections "Search" or "Map" fails.
