asterisk users - Jun 2008 - TRANSFER_CONTEXT ignored?

Hi,

 

I am in a weird situation where a variable seemed ignored,  but not always.
That variable is __TRANSFER_CONTEXT.

 

Basically, I have a phone registered with asterisk.  It's context is
"internal".  Outgoing calls go through that context (all good).

 

When I get an incoming call which I want transferred, I don't want it to go
through the context "internal" but through
"internal-transferred".  So I
followed the instructions and set the __TRANSFER_CONTEXT variable this way:

 

exten => 1234,n,Set(__TRANSFER_CONTEXT=internal-transferred)

 

This is set a few lines before the Dial(SIP/phone) is called.

 

But when I transfer a call out, it's send using the "internal"
context,
seemlingly ignoring the TRANSFER_CONTEXT variable.

 

Any ideas?

 

 

Mick

The TRANSFER_CONTEXT has only ever worked for blind transfers for me
and gets ignored for attended transfers.
