asterisk users - Apr 2015 - Asterisk proxying a REFER

Hello,
we are using Asterisk with Adhearsion as our application server, with
another Asterisk box acting as the office PBX, where all office phones are
registered.

A REFER to transfer calls within the office results in the Adhearsion
application call being dropped, because the leg between the PBX and the app
server is terminated by the PBX following the REFER.
 Is there a way to configure Asterisk 11 to proxy a refer across a bridge
instead of following it, so the application server can follow it instead?

Best regards,

Luca Pradovera

Hey Luca -

Unfortunately, there is not a simple or easy configuration setting
that tells Asterisk to proxy the REFER request through. Generally,
Asterisk doesn't like proxying anything.

There may still be another way to handle this issue, depending on the
setup. Can you provide a bit more information about the channels on
the PBX/Adhearsion server, who sends the REFER request, and what
happens explicitly in the scenario?
