[Asterisk-Dev] Manager multiple results commands

[David Pollak]

I've added some functionality to the Manager.  Specifically, I've added 
the ability to send AGI commands via the Manager API so there's a single 
TCP socket open between Asterisk and a controlling application.  It 
works really well.

One of the things that the MAGI (Manager/AGI) code does is URL Encode 
complex responses.  If I've got a compound response (e.g., a response 
that itself contains another response), I URL encode the contained 
response and put it on a line.  The controlling application looks for 
the line it cares about, and URL Decodes the line.

In the example below, you might have something like:

QueueMember0: name=value&name2=value2&name3=value3
QueueMember1: name=value&name2=value2&name3=value3

This also allows sending non-printables (e.g., a tab, a space, etc.) in 
a well defined way.

Sound like it might address some of the needs?
