> If an ARI application executes a {{GET /channels/{channel_id}/variable}} on a channel that is currently in dialplan, i.e., not in a {{Stasis}} dialplan application, it will get a {{409 conflict}} response.
> This is probably too restrictive, for a few reasons:
> # We already allow a user to retrieve a channel's information using {{GET /channels/{channel_id}/}}. From the perspective of a user, not letting them access a subsequent property on a channel in a read-only fashion is odd.
> # For certain channels in the dialplan, you will need to use {{GET /channels/{channel_id}/variable}} in order to know how to take actions within an ARI application. For example, it is useful to know the {{REDIRECTING}} reason for a channel you are watching that just executed a {{Dial}}, or you may want to get {{CONNECTEDLINE}} information from a channel.
> Issuing a 409 on channel variable retrieval is too restrictive.
> *Note:* I'm sure this was originally done intentionally, as we were/are quite paranoid about not letting ARI crash a channel owned by another application. In this case, however, retrieving channel variables is a relatively benign operation, and should be free from side effects.
