Hi Vipul,

Unfortunately this isn't the place to ask for help on the Respoke Channel
Driver, the correct place would be at  http://community.respoke.io/ (where
I've already said similar) but for posterity I will answer the question. I
can see that you're trying to connect your own Node.js / Socket.io
application to Asterisk using the respoke channel driver - I'm afraid this
just won't work as the respoke channel driver is very much geared towards
the respoke platform, it's not like you can just swap the platform out.

Without knowing more about your application I would really advocate what
Matt Jordan said earlier in the thread, I would deal with your clients
using socket.io (as you presumably do now) and then use node.js to then
communicate with Asterisk via the ARI, The node.js ARI module is maintained
by the Asterisk team, the ARI is a first class citizen and it's where most
development is taking place from an API perspective. This way your node.js
process is very much a middle man, connecting socket.io clients and the
ARI. Is there a reason why you wouldn't want to talk ARI to Asterisk?
