asterisk users - May 2010 - Calling a RESTful Web service from Dialplan????

Dear All,

Last Week i tried and goggling more on how to call RESTful webservice from
Dialplan?

i found *CURL* function but while i tried  to use it ,it 's not  supported
HTTPS request and we cannot set headers while send a request.

also  without HTTPS . i get result it will return a string means whole
xml,json request  is represented in string format, how can i parse that
request?

my question is that is there any  best utility in asterisk that support
calling a webservie from Dialplan?

i am also comfortable with C, or PERL based AGI.

please guide me as i am new to this Webservice part...

regards
Dhaval

You can call an external script and call CURL from there (either use
AGI, or Asterisk cmd System).

It depends on your task what to use (perl/bash/C...)

Wanting to parse XML sounds way out of scope for dialplan. I'd vote for an 
AGI written in C.
