Open Grid Public Beta/Getting Rez Avatar Request Cap

The OGP protocol mentions getting the rez_avatar/request capability in Teleport § 1.3.2: This capability is normally attained from the Public Region Seed Capability, but does not go into detail.

To obtain the rez_avatar/request capability, you make a request to the public_region_seed_cap. In LLIDL, this would be:

%% public_region_seed_cap -> undef <- &resp 

;;success 
&resp = {
   [ rez_avatar/request: uri ]
}
;; error
&resp = {
    message: string
}

In Practice

You make a GET request to the public_region_seed_cap:

Note that you must send the Accept: application/llsd+xml header with the request. See OGP Serialization and Transport.

Previous Implementation

Previously, this was done by posting a request for the rez_avatar/request capability.
