[asterisk-users] CURL

[Colin Anderson]

You need to use AGI to do this. You would put a shell script yourscript.agi
in /var/lib/asterisk/agi-bin
 
If you want an HTTP response dumped into your dialplan as a variable, you
would use wget:
 
myagi.agi:
 
#!/bin/bash
TMPFILE=/tmp/$$.$RANDOM
wget -q -t3 --output-document=$TMPFILE http://mysite.com/myhtml.html
<http://mysite.com/myhtml.html> 
MYVAR=$(cat $TMPFILE)
echo "SET VARIABLE MYASTERISKVAR \"$MYVAR\""
rm $TMPFILE
 
You would call the AGI like this:
 
exten => foo,1,AGI(/var/lib/asterisk/agi-bin/myagi.agi)
 
Optionally you can pass a parameter to the AGI:
 
exten => foo,1,AGI(/var/lib/asterisk/agi-bin/myagi.agi foo)
 
and you would retrieve the parameter in the AGI using the $1, $2, $3
variables in the AGI for parameter 1,2,3 etc.

Jerry,
 
Using system, is there a way to read into an asterisk variable the content
of the response (i.e. a text in an http response) ?. If this is possible
then I can use this approach.
 
Thanks

You can always use the System() command in asterisk to call the curl
executable.

Ok, after requesting information to digium (no answer yet) and being
informed that asterisk-dev is *NOT* a support hot line, I am trying in this
list to see if someone has information on this regard.

I know this is not a support area so I am only trying to get some clues.

I have asterisk be and I am trying to use the CURL function (or
application?). It is not available when I try it even though it is
documented. Does anyone knows if there is a way to load it as a
function/application inside asterisk? if so, is there code to
download/compile to get it working inside asterisk?

Any clue will be highly appreciated. (I keep trying digium support).
