[asterisk-dev] How to keep the connectionwith AMIinterfaceactive?

[caif~]

Hi, Bkrous. One more question:
I see that in AsteriskTFOT2.pdf what it tell me to send ping action is:
"Action: Ping"
And Asterisk will send response back:
"Response: Pong"

But when I send "Action: Ping", there is nothing back to me. Untill I send
"Action: Ping
ActionID: xxxxxxxxxx"

Asterisk send response back:
"Response: Pong
ActionID: xxxxxxxxxx"

Should I contain actionID in the requset? And how long is the interval between Pings? 20 seconds?

I am sorry, I should have been monitoring closer.

All you have to do is keep your session ID that is handed out to you on 
the handshake of logging in, and ping the manager interface.

The session should not expire (I do not think), until Asterisk is 
stopped/started, etc.

You can get a full example of the web related manager abilities in 
config/js/astman.js or pbx.js
(Javascript routines for Accessing manager and manipulating the Data. 
Same can be used in Java)
