[Asterisk-Users] OT: Opensource "Sipura Profile Compiler" for SPA2K, 3K

[Kristian Kielhofner]

Hello list,

	I have several SPA-2000's and 3000's scattered about the Internet (all 
behind NATs).  Because I do not qualify as an ITSP, Sipura will not 
license their "Sipura Profile Compiler" so that I can have the units 
remote upgrade, remote re-configure, etc (via TFTP or HTTP).  This is 
extremely annoying.

	Right now if I have to make a config change to any of these SPA's I 
have to get a hold of the client, run my custom remote-admin tool on 
their windows machine, and fire up a web browser to log on to the Sipura 
to make the changes.  What a pain.

	This is what I propose...  If Sipura won't license their profile 
compiler (to generate config files for the SPA2K and 3K).  I will have 
to "make my own".  Because I live in the US (and don't want to risk 
messing with the DMCA), I think that the only way to do this is to use 
the HTTP GET/PUT method.

	Sipura already claims that you can do a HTTP GET (lynx -dump) and put 
the config for a device into a file.  I know that this works.  What I 
don't know will work is doing a PUT to put it back on the device.  If I 
can get this to work, then I should be able to somehow create a utility 
(running under Windows) to go to my web server, download a file (if it 
has changed) and PUT it on the device.  I already have the details 
worked out, but I just wanted to see what the list thought since I would 
(of course) release anything that I came up with GPL.  Does this seem 
viable, has anyone done this, or is there a better way to do it?

Thanks.
