Every time the cgi returns work, once its completed, if the channel is still alive it resubmits to the url again endlessly looking for more work till you tell it to transfer away or hangup. If the tmp-action is present it submits to that url one time and subsequently goes back to the original. On Mon, Apr 23, 2012 at 12:43 PM, Alex Crow <acrow@integrafin.co.uk> wrote:
Hi,
I am also confused. Under what circumstances if the URL queried again? Is it initiated from another request from the "work" section or does it happen after the "work" section has been completed, then auto-changing the request url from the original request from the XML dialplan? Eg to execute an application it's stated:
<execute application data action>*DATA*</execute> : Execute a FreeSWITCH app. ATTRS: application : The app to run action : Change url to submit to. temp-action : Change url to submit to. just for the next loop. data : Alternate source for app data *DATA* : The app data
But what is meant by "the url to submit to" and "the next loop"? IE what submits a request (and what is submitted) and what is the loop? Does the loop in fact continue hitting the webserver until the CGI returns a <break> in its <work> Tag?
Regards
Alex

It changes the url queried. The temp-action changes for that use only ie: that call. the action will change the url queried for a permanent (as long as freeswitch is up) basis. Does this answer your question?

Hi Kyle,
Thanks for your response. I wasn't being clear though.
I understand that
<action application="httapi" data="http://192.168.100.197/cgi-bin/test.cgi"/> in the dialplan will cause Freeswitch to retrieve the XML to perform work in the dialplan.
However in the wiki http://wiki.freeswitch.org/wiki/Mod_httapi under the "Work Tag" section, each type of work describes two attributes:
action and temp-action, described as "change the new target url" and "change url to submit to just for the next loop".
What is the "loop" it is describing here, and is this a kind of 'callback' to the test.cgi allowing the application to keep control of the dialplan after it has sent the initial response?
Thanks again Tom

Thanks Michael, yes will certainly help keep the page updated if any more info comes to light.
Thanks Avi, when you say "future httpapi requests" do you think that is when the httapi application is executed again, or is it a type of 'callback' so that when that step in the dialplan is finished the HTTP API being called can instruct Freeswitch to perform another step in the dialplan.

Hi,
Does anyone have a short guide or blog post on using the mod_httapi.
The wiki page is a bit sparse on details of how to actually use this new module, and have not been able to make much progress with it.
One of my main questions is what is the "action" property of the work element for.
The wiki says it "Change the new target url."
http://wiki.freeswitch.org/wiki/Mod_httapi
But what does that mean?
Thanks Tom
