[asterisk-users] OT - How to query vcard-like data for CTI app

[Klaus Darilion]

Hi Olivier!

There is a php AGI script available at 
http://www.enum.at/index.php?id=522 that
1. performs ENUM lookup for CLI and looks for vcard service
2. fetch vcard from URI
3. fetch name from vcard and set the callerid-name.

maybe this helps you to start with vcard parsing

regards
klaus
