Regarding provider pic

[dbelieves]

Hi all,
I have a very curious case which i am not able to comprehend.

When I login using facebook I see my profile picture in the header.
https://github.com/meanjs/mean/blob/master/modules/core/client/views/header.client.view.html#L35

user.profileImageURL does not store an image path. The link, when opened in browser, redirects to the actual image path.
How is angular able to do so using 'ng-src' ?

Also, I am trying to do the same thing in one of my views but the same is not happening.
src is storing only //graph.facebook.com/my_id/picture?type=large.

Can someone help me resolve this?

For now, I make a request from the server to get the actual image path and then send it to the controller. But i was baffled when i saw the above code working without any hassle.

is there any caveat i am missing ?
