Does asterisk follow HTTP redirects? If so can you use something like
tinyurl.com to produce an alternative URL?
Or, base64 encode the URL, and then set a variable with
Set(url=${BASE64_DECODE(${encodedURL})) ?
Cheers,
Kingsley.

The other similar idea I had was to use a reverse proxy server to accept an Asterisk-compatible URL and convert it into whatever the outisde world requires.> Or, base64 encode the URL, and then set a variable with > Set(url=${BASE64_DECODE(${encodedURL})) ?No, doesn't work - I tried several things yesterday to see if I could get this to work, and you don't even need to use Base64 en/de-coding - you can set an Asterisk variable to the URL including the &, and then pass that to the Background() command, and it fails. I tried it pointing to a web server I run, so I can see the requests which are sent, and a ? gets through, but a & doesn't. Converting it to %26 simply sends that through as-is, which fails at the web server end. So, I think this is a bug/feature-fail in Asterisk, which can't be worked around.

I tried tinyURL and that did not work. I got an error of: file.c:789 ast_openstream_full: File https://tinyurl.com/bdfye5ts9 does not exist in any format (URL changed to hide aws key). I tried adding \;foo=wav. but that did not work either. On Thu, Jan 27, 2022 at 3:32 PM Kingsley Tart <kingsley at dns99.co.uk> wrote:> Does asterisk follow HTTP redirects?
