[feature request] Extend the User Provisioning API to handle avatar

[cedriccarbone]

Right now, User Provisioning API [1] doesn't allow to set or get the avatar of a user. It should be great if the API can handle avatar to be able to manage Users externally.
Thanks!

There was the plan to have a DAV resource to handle avatars.

Even more we kind of need to use a different endpoint since OCS does not allow us to return binary data. But maybe we could (once the DAV endpoint is in place) put the link into the provisioning API responses.

I like this idea :)

@PVince81 @DeepDiver1975 I think a personal API / DAV endpoint for all personal changeable options is required. Clients needs this to give more options to the users. For example I've seen recently that android app is getting the avatars from the url directly /index.php/avatar/admin/256#256 .

Absolutely

[DeepDiver1975]

we can use the system addressbook like this:
http://localhost:8080/remote.php/dav/addressbooks/system/system/system/Database:admin.vcf?photo

this will return the users avatar - but only in 96x96 pixels. not perfect

@DeepDiver1975 backlog, or do you have time for this ?

Linking #26872 - regarding the avatar DAV resource. Original request was to use the provisioning API to operate on the avatar, not sure if this will suffice or there's additional actions required.
