Gravatars do not work in Microsoft Edge browser

  Microsoft Edge sends the accept header “accept: text/html, application/xhtml+xml, image/jxr, */*” with all image requests. When this header is included, gravatar responds with a 400 error. This means no gravatars will be seen by users of Microsoft Edge browser.

  Failing example:
  curl -i "https://i2.wp.com/df-qa-www.drama9.com/st/img/df-flame-user-icon.png?ssl=1" -H "accept: text/html, application/xhtml+xml, image/jxr, */*"

  Working example (using accept header provided by chrome):
  curl -i "https://i2.wp.com/df-qa-www.drama9.com/st/img/df-flame-user-icon.png?ssl=1" -H "accept: text/html,application/xhtml+xml,application/xml;q=0.9,image/webp,*/*;q=0.8"

  I am not sure if there is a way to let the engineers at Gravatar know about this, but the support link on that site directed me to these forums.

  Thanks
