asterisk users - Jan 2012 - Most efficient way to send an HTTP GET from the dialplan with asterisk 1.8 and above) ?

Hi,

I've seen that function CURL is missing from 1.8 but back in with 10
(see wiki.asterisk.org).

With asterisk 1.8 and above, for a custom CID Name lookup application,
which is the most efficient way to send an HTTP GET from the dialplan
and parse its response (code and content) ?

Regards

I see the CURL function in Asterisk 1.8.7.1, found in the res_curl
module. In Fedora it is available in a separate package called
asterisk-curl.

If you do not get res_curl, it is likely because a prerequisite library
was not installed when you built Asterisk. Try looking at
MENUSELECT_DEPSFAILED in menuselect.makeopts.

I think the wiki may have just missed func_curl. I have a couple 1.8.x machines
with working func_curl. Have you tried to compile it anyway?

Thanks!!
