Re: [Freeswitch-users] Lua: io.popen/read blocking in other incoming calls

My lua script is calling wget through lua's io.popen to send and receive data from a web service. While the f:read to wget is running, other incoming calls will block on the same io.popen call until the first call closes the pipe (with f:close()).

You might want to look at the api that mod_curl exposes to do what you want. No need to do an expensive system call just to call a webservice. -- -Rupa
