      At the moment core_webservice_get_site_info() returns:

      <KEY name="userpictureurl"><VALUE>http://jerome.moodle.local/~jerome/Moodle_HEAD/pluginfile.php/5/user/icon/f1</VALUE>
      		 
      </KEY>

      to avoid this MDL issue with forcelogin/guestaccess, you can call the picture this way:

      http://jerome.moodle.local/~jerome/Moodle_HEAD/webservice/pluginfile.php?token= f95fe8ce5f6a4f01dc22ccdf333bba22&file=/5/user/icon/f1

      Juan wrote in the web service forum:

      The current webservices for displaying information about an user returns a value called:

      user.profileimageurl

      This is the full url of the user profile image

      Please, note that the current implementation only works if forcelogin is set to NO and guestaccess to Yes

      Also, there is a new security issue for preventing displaying profile images for guests users

      http://tracker.moodle.org/browse/MDL-29844

      I think it's neccesary a new script for obtaining this image using the auth token as a parmether (like the new pluginfile)
