[Asterisk-Users] callto: URL (URI) tag for dialing

[Gregory Wiktor - ADCom Corp.]

I just wrote a simple cgi to have a form generate the number, then the
cgi creates a call file and bingo. Web call.

I see that there seems to be a 'callto' URL/URI for dialling a phone
number... ie - on my web site's "Contact Page" - I have added the
code...
<a href="callto:+27128070590">+27 12 807-0590</a>

There should be some generic way for Mozilla (firefox - etc) to somehow
turn a click on such a link into persuading Asterisk to dial the number
for me and connect it to my SIP hard-phone.

1 - mini application under mozilla to collect the number/sip address,
add in a static local extension (personal settings?) and pass info to a
listener (auto-dialer) on the Asterisk Machine

2 - Auto Dialer dials my extension, then on answer, dials the URL or
phone number. The URL could either be a simple phone number or a full
SIP address??

Anyone done this? ..and care to share?
