get user online profile address

[xpwan1]

Dear All:

I would like to know how to get a contact online profile URL. For example, for a contact ab@hotmail.com, to view his profile, it normally gets a URL in the format of http://cid-xxxxxxx.profile.live.com. Please guide me how to get this URL from msn services

Thanks

in the ABFindAll request, you get the cid of the user in the XML

Code:

<Contact> <contactInfo> <CID> cid goes here </CID> </contactInfo </Contact>

you change that cid from decimal into a hexadecimal value and it will give you the url....
Otherwise, you could just go to this URL and it will redirect you automatically : http://members.msn.com/default.msnw?mem=THE_EMAIL_ADDRESS@DOMAIN.COM&pgmarket=
You need to be signed in first of course.
