Thanks for your reply Anthony, 
But i think you didn't quite understand my question. Custom Ring Back Tones (Early Media) is one of the features listed in FreeSWITCH features page and details of  FreeSWITCH Early Media mode is detailed in FreeSWITCH wiki : http://wiki.freeswitch.org/wiki/Early_Media

By pre-answer i mean picking a call in Early Media mode (Early media is the exchange of information before establishment of a connection) which mean on early media mode, even though an audio is playing like Custom Ring Back Tones, the call is not connected so the caller is not billed.

The question again is how can the FreeSWITCH Early Media feature be used from mod_httapi?

Also, is there any performance benefit for using  mod_httapi over a framework like Plivo that provide RESTFul features to FreeSWITCH?

Regards

Karl C.

if you try to play a file it will pre-answer by itself
you can send anything you want via the dialplan inside the {foo=bar}
var expressions and if you enable the permissions you can get the full
call data

Hi team,

I am trying to get these values from the lua script for custom CDR report, I am able to get few values but many variables are missing or getting null value. Any help would be appreciated.

local aa=session:getVariable("context");
local bb=session:getVariable("destination_number");
local cc=session:getVariable("caller_id_name");
local dd=session:getVariable("caller_id_number");
local ee=session:getVariable("network_addr");
local ff=session:getVariable("ani");
local ii=session:getVariable("source");
local jj=session:getVariable("chan_name");
local kk=session:getVariable("uuid");
local ll=session:getVariable("created_time");
local aa1=session:getVariable("direction");
local bb1=session:getVariable("username");
local cc1=session:getVariable("dialplan");
local dd1=session:getVariable("caller_id_number");
local ee1=session:getVariable("unique_id");

session:execute("bridge","user/601");
session:hangup();

local ff1=session:getVariable("answered_time");
local hh1=session:getVariable("created_time");
local gg1=session:getVariable("hangup_time");
local gg2=session:getVariable("end_stamp");

I am getting values for all the above variables except end_stamp, hangup_time, duration, billsec,hangup_cause.


Thanks for your time.

Thanks,
Bala
