Hello,

I have been using Asterisk for years, and the one thing that I believe is sorely missing, but I can't find any mention of it on the Internet, and that is pushable pre-bridge handlers. In current setup, there are following limitations:

1. Pre-bridge handler can only be attached to the B-leg channel, not the A-leg channel.

2. The handler will only be executed before a bridge resulting from Dial application, but a channel can be bridged multiple times during its lifetime (by SIP attended transfer, for example).

So, for example, if I want to turn call recording on/off depending on who the channel is bridged to, there is no way to do that via dialplan (that I know of).

There is a possibility to attach hangup handlers to any channel by using CHANNEL(hangup_handler_push), but no similar feature for pre-bridge handlers, which are much more important, IMO. So, has there been any discussion among developers about this topic?

Best regards.
