Forgive me, but where are we talking about this '&' showing up?<br>This sounds like a good solution to the problem at hand.<br><br>I'm presuming it's in phone number requests - e.g. SIP INVITE<br>If you have DIDs, make sure they don't have '&' in the request.<br>
<br>If you need to have <a href="mailto:bert%26ernie@sesamestree.com.au">bert&ernie@sesamestree.com.au</a> be aware that it needs the safedialplan option set to no.<br><br>All other cases, stick to [a-z][A-Z][0-9]<br>
<br><div class="gmail_quote"><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"><br>
<br>
I'd much rather see '&' being disallowed in a request by default with an<br>
option to allow it.<br>
<br>
The problem is recoding thousands of lines of dialplan code.<br>
<br>
The other option would be a switch in asterisk.conf which changes the<br>
wildcard to only match a-z, A-Z, 0-9.<br>
<br>
That way you could mitigate most issues straight away with a one line<br>
change, and those people who need to accept $#%^%$^@<a href="http://voip.com" target="_blank">voip.com</a> could deal<br>
with the FILTER function.<br>
