Does anyone knows why in the Solid profile/card#me (on solid.community provider at least)

```
n:hasPhoto "https://spoggy.solid.community/profile/highres_274291645.jpeg";

```

does not work anymore and has been replaced by

```
n:hasPhoto <https://spoggy.solid.community/profile/highres_274291645.jpeg>

```

?

I don’t know to what has actually changed (i.e. did solid.community change your data? did some app? what no longer works?), but the former says that `https://spoggy.solid.community/profile/highres_274291645.jpeg` is an arbitrary string (i.e. it might as well have the value “Hi, I am Smag0’s photo!”), whereas the latter indicates that it is actually a URL

The repercussions are that if an app is looking for a URL at `n:hasPhoto`, they former will result in them not finding it.

I’ve personnaly changed nothing,  
but i used to get it with tripledoc .getString() and now i must use .getRef()  
not only for my profile , but for my friends [https://scenaristeur.github.io/solid-vue-panes/friends](https://scenaristeur.github.io/solid-vue-panes/friends)

Sounds like one of the apps you gave access to your profile corrected it, then. Did you use any other app recently?
