When changing the user’s avatar via the discourse platform or via the api, it does not return the complete url with the cdn, it only returns the avatar path.  
ex:  
how to return /avatar\_test/test/…png

as it should:  
[https://cdn.example.com/avatar\_test/test/......png](https://cdn.example.com/avatar_test/test/......png)  
How do I always return the full url.
