[Asterisk-Users] cmd curl crashes asterisk:

[Tim Connolly]

	I recently began using the curl cmd to do an external callerid
lookup on my own customer database. I've noticed certain lookups will cause
a crash and not show anything in the messages file or the console. The curl
command is connecting to an external webserver which has a oracle db
connection. The file its hitting is PHP and does a very simply lookup
showing the text like "C1234 Bobs mowing service" which I later cut off at
15 characters to squeeze it in setcidname(). Here is an example crash. 

    -- Goto (macro-getcustid,s,3)
    -- Executing NoOp("Zap/2-1", "Call from  using .") in new stack
    -- Executing Curl("Zap/2-1",
"http://old-inside.theplanet.com/xmlservices/cnum_lookup.html?cid=") in new
stack
pbx01*CLI> 
Disconnected from Asterisk server

[macro-getcustid]; ${DEFAULT} is my own number..i.e. no cid was given...
exten => s,1,setvar(CURL=)
exten => s,2,gotoif($["${CALLERIDNUM}" = "${DEFAULT}"]?9:3)
exten => s,3,noop(Call from ${CALLERIDNAME} using ${CALLERIDNUM}.)
exten =>
s,4,curl('http://mywebserver-name/xmlservices/cnum_lookup.html\?cid=${CALLER
IDNUM}')
exten => s,5,setvar(CURL=${CURL:0:15})
exten => s,6,noop(Setting callerid ${CALLERIDNUM} to ${CURL})
exten => s,7,setcidname(${CURL})
exten => s,8,goto(s,10)
exten => s,9,noop(Skipping because CID = ${CALLERIDNUM})
exten => s,10,noop

	I can easily avoid these crashes (I hope) by not executing the curl
command if the ${CALLERID} variable is less than 10 characters, but I
thought I would point out that CURL should not be crashing the whole system
because a URL was disliked.
