Re: [asterisk-users] How to escape the & in BackGround
I have been using system commands in my dialplan for years and the &
goes through and puts the process in background like it should,
asterisk does not do anything, so you are left with what the shell
does.

Re: [asterisk-users] How to escape the & in BackGround
I tried tinyURL and that did not work. I got an error of:
file.c:789 ast_openstream_full: File https://tinyurl.com/bdfye5ts9 does not
exist in any format (URL changed to hide aws key). I tried adding
\;foo=wav. but that did not work either.

I'm (pretty) sure that that would work.
The other similar idea I had was to use a reverse proxy server to accept an
Asterisk-compatible URL and convert it into whatever the outisde world
requires.

No, doesn't work - I tried several things yesterday to see if I could get this
to work, and you don't even need to use Base64 en/de-coding - you can set an
Asterisk variable to the URL including the &, and then pass that to the
Background() command, and it fails.
I tried it pointing to a web server I run, so I can see the requests which are
sent, and a ? gets through, but a & doesn't. Converting it to %26 simply
sends that through as-is, which fails at the web server end.
So, I think this is a bug/feature-fail in Asterisk, which can't be worked
around.

Re: [asterisk-users] How to escape the & in BackGround
Does asterisk follow HTTP redirects? If so can you use something like
tinyurl.com to produce an alternative URL?
Or, base64 encode the URL, and then set a variable with
Set(url=${BASE64_DECODE(${encodedURL})) ?
Cheers,
Kingsley.

Does asterisk follow HTTP redirects? If so can you use something like
tinyurl.com to produce an alternative URL?
Or, base64 encode the URL, and then set a variable with
Set(url=${BASE64_DECODE(${encodedURL})) ?

${SPRINTF(%c,38)}
or
%26
should work, I think.
