Hello Asterisk list! I've been facing some scenarios in my dialplan where I see the "h" extension being executed for Surrogate channels. For me, it is kind of a mystery what these Surrogate channels are... I couldn't find good information about them... the source code is where I could find the most detailed info:
/*! \brief Channel technology used to extract a channel from a running application. The * channel created with this technology will be immediately hung up - most external * applications won't ever want to see this. */ It mentions "*won't ever want to see this*", so I am unsure if they are only internal to Asterisk core and I should not be seeing these channels executing my dialplan, or if indeed I will see them in my dialplan, and then I have to handle them somehow (even if I don't want them).... Anyway, does anyone know a good explanation about these surrogate channels, and what is expected of them when it comes to dialplan execution? Cheers!
