[Freeswitch-users] Loading phrases on demand via mod_xml_curl

21 Apr 2015

      Hi,

It is possible to load a phrase on demand (and for every individual
call) using mod_xml_curl?

Currently my web server is returning:

<document type="freeswitch/xml">
 <section name="phrases">
  <macros>
   <language>
    <macro name="vmg">
     <input pattern="(.*)">
      <match>
       <action function="play-file" data="voicemail/vm-goodbye.wav"/>
      </match>
     </input>
    </macro>
   </language>
  </macros>
 </section>
</document>

when the phrases section of mod_xml_curl is configured thusly:

<binding name="phrases">

      <param name="method" value="GET"/>

      <param name="enable-post-var" value="macro_name"/>
      <param name="enable-post-var" value="variable_sip_req_user"/>
      <param name="enable-post-var" value="variable_sip_from_user"/>

      <param name="gateway-url"
        value="127.0.0.1/phrase"
        bindings="languages"/>

</binding>

but when a dialplan tries to load to load the vmg phrase:

<menu name="vmg_ivr"
                greet-long="phrase:vmg"
                invalid-sound="ivr/ivr-that_was_an_invalid_entry.wav"
                exit-sound="voicemail/vm-goodbye.wav"
                confirm-macro=""
                confirm-key=""
                tts-engine="flite"
                tts-voice="slt"
                confirm-attempts="3"
                timeout="10000"
                inter-digit-timeout="2000"
                max-failures="3"
                max-timeouts="3"
                digit-len="1">

The execution cannot find the vmg macro:

2015-04-21 15:35:10.843131 [DEBUG] switch_ivr_menu.c:469 Executing IVR
menu vmg_ivr
2015-04-21 15:35:10.843131 [DEBUG] switch_ivr_play_say.c:70 No

2015-04-21 15:35:10.943130 [CONSOLE] mod_xml_curl.c:323 XML response

2015-04-21 15:35:10.943130 [ERR] switch_ivr_play_say.c:145 Can't find macro vmg.

The debug file that mod_xml_curl writes to disk
(/tmp/cbaaec2b-50ed-48ab-b5fa-68d3d7b34cb9.tmp.xml) contains the macro
called vmg.

So I was wondering if phrase loading via mod_xml_curl is not supposed
to work in this way, i.e. that a macro sourced remotely cannot be late
bound to an IVR menu declaration?

The following mailing list post

http://lists.freeswitch.org/pipermail/freeswitch-users/2013-August/099239.ht...

seems to suggest this behavior.

But if that is the case, then I'm a bit surprised that the HTTP
request appears to be executed every time the macro is referenced by a
dialplan.

Am I missing the point some where?

Many thanks,

Ben
