[Asterisk-Users] manager interface behavior

[Bill Michaelson]

I'm working on a manager client that I designed to hold open TCP 
connection to asterisk while it is running for varoius purposes.  After 
being puzzled by unexpected behavior, I realized that the server closes 
the connection after it completes an "originate" action - or at least it 
does in the case of my test transactions.

I solicit opinions: is this a feature or a bug?
