I'm running asterisk 1.2 and calling a fast agi script
exten =>
s,1,Agi(agi://website.com/script.agi?user=${EXTEN}&number=${CALLERID(number)})
exten => s,2,,Goto(${MACRO_CONTEXT}|${MACRO_EXTEN}|5)
If, for some reason the, website.com cannot be contacted, is off-line,
the call drops. The call does not go to the next exten => s,2
The wiki talks about setting a failure variable and using a GotoIf
statement but this required contacting the agi server successfully,
just not getting a good response. What happens if you cannot contact
the server in the first place? From what I see the call drops, does
not go to the next extension.
Is there any way to remedy this behavior and send the call to the next exten?
Thanks.
JR
