Yes, maybe it's a bug. But I'm not sure. I still think I'm missing a
detail....

Let's focus on the manager API because this is my primary "building
site" and the call files are not that important.

I tried the following:

vsauer at arthur: ~ > telnet localhost 5038
Action: Login
UserName: webdial
Secret: XXXXX

Response: Success
Message: Authentication accepted

Action: Getvar
Variable: DYNAMIC_FEATURES

Response: Success
Variable: DYNAMIC_FEATURES
Value: automon#blindxfer#atxfer#parkcall#disconnect

Well, that means that the global variable is known in this context (as
it should be). But if I run:

Action: Originate
Channel: SIP/cisco1
Exten: 201
Context: doLocalCalls
MaxRetries: 1
RetryTime: 15
WaitTime: 60
Priority: 1
SetLanguage: de

The called party can listen to DTMF instead of asterisk triggering
atxfer or so.

That's what the CLI says:

  == Parsing '/opt/asterisk/etc/asterisk/manager.conf': Found
  == Manager 'webdial' logged on from 127.0.0.1

You see I run Dial with the KTW options. 
*Maybe* in this case, my phone is not the "caller" but the "called" 
because it get's called  by the manager API (I don't know how one has
to see that). To check, I dialed with "ktwKTW" - same result. If I 
dial with the normal phone, #2 for atxfer works. If I dial with the 
manager API, it doesn't.

I even tried to set the variable in the manager API. The CLI says:
== Setting global variable 'DYNAMIC_FEATURES' to
  'automon#blindxfer#atxfer#parkcall#disconnect'

but the result is the same. No features like #2.

I tried both, but neither worked.
First I tought chan_local would solve it because I can explicitly set
Dial-parameters. But:

  == Manager 'webdial' logged on from 127.0.0.1
    -- Executing [12 at doLocalCalls:1] Macro("Local/12 at doLocalCalls-94a1,2", "intDial|SIP/cisco2") in new stack
    -- Executing [s at macro-intDial:1] Dial("Local/12 at doLocalCalls-94a1,2", "SIP/cisco2||kKwWtTj") in new stack
    -- Called cisco2

    -- Executing [201 at doRemoteCalls:1] Goto("Local/12 at doLocalCalls-94a1,1", "Dial-Default|XXXXXXXXXXX|1") in new stack
    -- Goto (Dial-Default,06151154260,1)
    -- Executing [06151154260 at Dial-Default:1] Macro("Local/12 at doLocalCalls-94a1,1", "Dial-Tol|XXXXXXXXXXX") in new stack
    -- Executing [s at macro-Dial-Tol:1] Set("Local/12 at doLocalCalls-94a1,1", "CALLERID(name)=XXXXXXXXXXXX") in new stack

    -- Executing [s at macro-Dial-Tol:4] Dial("Local/12 at doLocalCalls-94a1,1", "SIP/tol/XXXXXXXXXXX||ktwKTW") in new stack
    -- Called tol/06151154260

    -- SIP/tol-08240f78 is making progress passing it to SIP/cisco2-08247f88

    -- SIP/tol-08240f78 answered SIP/cisco2-08247f88

Now, the phone and the remote party are called with Dial with ktwKTW.
This should do it. But: nothing!

I declare this a bug, now!
