Thanks Cal for your answer,

Well, The web service is not in my control. The slowly response could be due to web server issues, network, internet conection, webservice itself, etc. In my country, quck and stable internet access is not granted as is in other countries. I suspect is due to network and internet conections.

Before open this thread, I got some ideas in how to do it. I just wanted to know how other fs user do it.

I tried to put the call in hold:
1. Tring to transfer the call to music_hod (9664) ... but I got stuck, how I retrieve/recover/unhold the call?
2. I tried using other fs way like uuid_hold, the call seems to be somewhere, no music is played, and then I got stuck, how I retrieve/recover/unhold the call? How uuid_hold should be used?

I will try httpapi.

Any suggestion, will be welcome

Hello,

Can I ask why your web service is taking several seconds to respond? Could you not speed this up?

As far as I'm aware, telling mod_curl to play music when a request is being executed is really not the right way to look at it. If you need to retrieve data from an external service that will take several seconds, you would place the call into hold or into a parking queue, execute the request, then come back.. however you'd do this within the mod_curl response, rather than it happening on a mod_curl call itself. For example, you could get the mod_curl to response immediately, then use a mixture of httpapi/includes/parking to achieve your goal..

Perhaps someone else might be able to offer a cleaner solution, but that's the best I can think of at the moment.

Hope this helps!

Cal

Hi,

I have lua script. the script is similar to the one in http://wiki.freeswitch.org/wiki/Mod_curl (lua usage)

The script access a web service and get some data. The script work fine for my needs. However, sometimes when the script access the web service take several seconds to get the data, and the caller ear silence. Is it possible to play a sound file as long the script try to get the data from the web service?
