[asterisk-users] AMI not responding correctly

[Jason]

I have a C app that communicates with the AMI over a socket.  The app works fine (has for years), and it dumps a debug log with all tx/rx traffic.  So what I posted is exactly what the AMI is responding with.  A telnet session would product the same.

I don't have access to the CLI, but I did ask the customer to try that command on the CLI.  Your output is exactly what I expect (and what I see on other systems)

The real mystery here is why is the AMI on this system responding strangely?!  Permissions?  Corruption?  Some asterisk config file setting I should look at?

What happens if (at pretty much the same time) you run the command "core show calls" in the Asterisk command console?

On my system (Asterisk 13.14.1) I get:

Action: Command
Command: core show calls

Response: Follows
Privilege: Command
0 active calls
0 calls processed
--END COMMAND--

How are you connecting and what are you using to parse the response?

Try a simple telnet and see if the result is the same:

$ telnet localhost 5038
Trying 127.0.0.1...
Connected to localhost.localdomain.
Escape character is '^]'.
Asterisk Call Manager/2.9.0
Action: login
Username: myusername
Secret: secretpassword

Response: Success
Message: Authentication accepted

Event: FullyBooted
Privilege: system,all
Status: Fully Booted

Action: Command
Command: core show calls

Response: Follows
Privilege: Command
0 active calls
0 calls processed
--END COMMAND--

3 logicians walk into a bar. The bartender asks "Do you all want a drink?"
The first logician says "I don't know."
The second logician says "I don't know."
The third logician says "Yes!"
