[Freeswitch-users] Possible to communicate with FS using event_socket without ESL?

[Anthony Minessale]

This is why I stopped and took the time to write the ESL library.  If
you want to do it yourself that's fine but were batting 1000 on people
who try to write their own and ask for help or report their own
mistakes as bugs along the way.

I'm not sure why you would want to take the risk to properly implement
the interface we have already spent the time on.
