Fw: Re: [Serusers] exec_msg and exec_uri integration

[Cerrajetto]

Hello!, 

OK, it's cool, this way we can obtain all headers and then "decide" where to 
rewrite the URI.

We would like to do some statistic control: our external program "decides" 
where to route, and writes in a Mysql DB some fields: from, to, date/time, 
interesting extra headers, ...

Is there a way to know date/time of hangup?. When a call hangs up, it 
generates sip info: is it possible to detect this info in ser.cfg to launch 
an external script (via exec_msg) ?. If possible, this script can update a 
table in DB with hangup information.

Thank you,
Cerrajetto.

Almost all parts of SIP message are passed in environment variables,
see our doc: http://www.iptel.org/ser/doc/prerelease/c1088.html#USINGEXEC,
the last figure in example 2 (printenv).

As said before, one alternative would be to serve yourself from env-vars.

The other way is writing a module which merges both functionalities. That
would take slightly more work than exec as is now -- exec relies on 'popen',
which makes lot of things for you in a portable way. It unfortunately also
sets limitations which made me split the module in two separate actions.

There is not config-reload option. Not really too bad as user-loc database
is kept persistently, transactions can complete statelessly and that's all
state you have. Nevertheless, it is definitely a nice convenience feature
which should show up in SER some day.
