[Asterisk-Users] Manager API - ExtensionState help please.

[Malcolm Bader]

I'm not having any luck getting the ExtensionState action of the Manager 
API to work.
The response is always success but the Status is always -1 which to me 
means an error.
Here is a typical telnet session.
-----------------------------------
stockholm:~ # telnet localhost 5038
Trying ::1...
telnet: connect to address ::1: Connection refused
Trying 127.0.0.1...
Connected to localhost.
Escape character is '^]'.
Asterisk Call Manager/1.0
action: login
username: test
secret: test

Response: Success
Message: Authentication accepted

Action: ExtensionState
Exten: 701
Context: default
ActionID: 001

Response: Success
ActionID: 001
Message: Extension Status
Exten: 701
Context: default
Hint:
Status: -1

action: logoff

Response: Goodbye
Message: Thanks for all the fish.

Connection closed by foreign host.
----------------------------
701 is a valid extension in the default context.
The status returned is always -1 no matter what the real status of the 
phone is, on hook, off hook, busy, .......

Thank you
Malcolm Bader

extension.conf and sip.conf follow.
