[Freeswitch-dev] Freeswitch and Google PUSH (C2DM)

[Kristian Kielhofner]

Jose,

  Whether it's C2DM or APNS (Apple) this functionality is best left
out of FreeSWITCH.  FreeSWITCH has plenty of other existing means
(XML_CURL, socket, etc) to drive dynamic call functionality and
interact with other technologies.

  How do you ask?  An imcoming call to FreeSWITCH could hit static
dialplan and execute a socket connection to some other custom server.
This server could tell FreeSWITCH to do something (play media,
ringback, messages, whatever) while it sends a PUSH (via C2DM or APNS,
for example).

  One could implement such a socket program easily.  It can be
extended and maintained separately as new push technologies become
available.
