Francois, Thanks for the example in your situation. I think that, to control what you want the channel to do on a transfer, still does not need to be overly complex. It looks like you are first bridging to specific endpoints. You have various options available to you for setting force_transfer_context on the a-leg when the bridge happens (even an using execute_on_answer or api_on_answer or whatever). The b-leg that answers can execute the appropriate set onto the a-leg (even using uuid_setvar or something else). Then, any subsequent transfer would involve the context you desire. - Steve On Mon, Nov 22, 2010 at 1:23 AM, François Delawarde < fdelawarde@wirelessmundi.com> wrote:
Hi Steve,
Thanks for your view on this. My point was that by default a blind transfer acts differently from an attended transfer as it uses the transferee's context instead of the transferer's.
It can in some way be controlled as you mention, but having to implement something quite complex only to have blind and attended xfers behaving in the same way seems a bit overkill.
For example, if I wish to use the B-leg's context as transfer_context for the A-leg (as in attended xfers), then when bridging to a group it can become a bit complicated:
<action application="bridge" data="user/100@example.com,user/ 101@example.com,..."/>
In that case, I would have to use a lua script to set the force_transfer_context to the B-leg's context on answer (because beforehand you wouldn't know who is going to take the call), so that if a transfer happens, it goes in the correct context.
François.

I tried to make a general template-type single code file people can use and work with.

In my scenario I need to control how the channel RECEIVING a transfer/REFER handles that transfer.
For example, I never want incoming calls to directly access certain call paths on my box. But, if a channel receives a REFER to off-box destination X, I want to handle that (even though my default context for incoming calls doesn't allow for destination X).
So I have a context that is not associated with my SIP profile for incoming calls. And that context has routing logic for destination X. And I use force_transfer_context so that, when a channel is bridged and gets a REFER to destination X, the ROUTING state sends the channel through my special context for handling transfers.
It's awesome!!!
And just as another note on your comment, Francois - a transferer has total control over where he transfers another channel (e.g. you can use dialplan context and extension, etc etc. right in transfer app).
These channel vars - force_transfer_context and force_transfer_dialplan - allow for controlling how a channel reacts to getting a transfer/REFER thrown at it.
Anyway, just a comment....

I thought it would be more logical to use the transferer context by default (just like in attended xfers), and for those variables to be set on the transferer's side.
François.
