asterisk users - Jan 2006 - Problem with Action:Originate with ASterisk Manager

Hi Asterisk-users,
 
 I am working with Aterisk Manager API's.
 I can login successfuly with the following.
 
 char buff[256];
 strcpy(buff, "Action: Login\r\nUsername: admin\r\nSecret:
unix\r\n\r\n");
 send(msock, buff, 255);
 
 Now I want to try Action: Originate, therefore I tried the following
 
 char buff1[256];
 strcpy(buff1, "Action: Originate\r\nChannel: SIP/101\r\nExten:
102\r\nPriority: 1\r\nContext: default\r\n\r\n");
 send(msock, buff1, 255);
 
 But I get the following error response from Asterisk-Manager
 Response: Error
 Message: Missing action in request
 
 Later I enabled the DEBUG Log in Asterisk I can see the following -
 
 >>>>>> During the Login

 What is the actual problem here? Am I doing some mistake? Please help me 
 in this regard.
 
 Thanks & regards,

Your problem is the third argument to send(), in both cases. It should not
be 255, but instead should be strlen(buff) or strlen(buff1), so that you
only send the part of the buffer you have used, not the whole of it.

The Manager is complaining about the empty message (NUL byte) that is
immediately after the final \r\n\r\n.

You also don't need to use two different buffers: you can re-use the same
one for the second message.

Cheers
Tony

You can save yourself a bounch of troubles by using:

telnet localhost 5038

and type that. You'll be able to see whatever is returned.

Or, alternatively, create a text file, and:

cat text_file | nc localhost 5038

Or pipe in the output of a simple shell script

Or maybe even:

cat text_file > /dev/tcp/localhost/5038

(this fake device is "generated" by bash. Debian turns this feature
off
in the package bash)

And as a rule of thumb: no need to do in C whatever you could easily do
in the shell.

You can also file unix2dos handy .
