[asterisk-app-dev] MWI/Mailboxes ARI specifications

[Jonathan Rose]

Since I started working on implementation of this, I've noticed a few
things that change this specification a little.
First, owing to how res_mwi_external has been made, it can only be used
without app_voicemail. Since when using
externally controlled MWI there aren't any other mailboxes that we need to
be worried about as far as conflicts and
such are concerned, there isn't really a need to require that the only
mailboxes the consumer can manipulate are
ones that were created by and are controlled by ARI.

If we nix this requirement, then ARI will be able to manipulate mailboxes
created through AMI (and vice versa),
but the point since these are all external control mechanisms, the worry
about conflicting operations going through
on mailboxes that are being managed by multiple systems is greatly
diminished.

The only major change from the original description is that any function
where I mentioned a response of
"409 - Mailbox not in a stasis application" is no longer a plausible
response. I'm not entirely sure what the

This also makes state persistence a little easier to manage since there
wouldn't be a need to re-establish a
mailbox as belonging to ARI between reloads.
