Are you also implementing the "ping" keepalive as part of your app?

I've never seen that behavior and I've written several clients for the

manager api.  I guess it's possible that a particular combination of

variables in the request could trigger an error that makes asterisk do

that.   I would try issuing the same originate by telneting in

manually and see what happens.  That way you can positively rule out

your client being the one that's disconnecting.


to which I reply:

That's the first thing I did, and it confirmed the behavior (see below).
To be precise, the disconnect occurs after the Newchannel report.  So I
infer that you think it is inappropriate.  I've recoded the client so
that it immediately reconnects.  Anybody actually tried this?  I can
imagine that the developer might have assumed that such a request would
likely come from a transient client, and that it would be helpful to
terminate the connection.  But if so, I don't think it's the right
decision.  Maybe it's just an oversight.  Any other opinions?  I'm too
lazy to read the server side code.
