Pictures from OKC #2

Open Namingwaysway opened 9 years ago

We should be able to pull pictures from OKC automatically.

I tried two ways: Loading through javascript from the client side [would be best.] Loading from the backend.

There are issues with each approach and a few things to consider. 1) We need the user to log in. OKC profiles are not public, and you must pass a cookie with the request to get the "profile" page to load. 2) We will have to pull up the profile by name [simple URL call], and parse out the picture we want. 3) We cannot manipulate the pulled page from client side due to browser same source restrictions. There may be a way around this for what we need to do. 4) We can't log in from the server with the current user's account. We could create a "site" account and use that, but I'm sure that will violate all sorts of terms of use.
