Astmanproxy 1.20 Released
Greetings Everyone,
I'm pleased to announce the release of Astmanproxy 1.20, the fast, flexible proxy server for Asterisk's Manager Interface. Astmanproxy allows you to communicate with multiple Asterisk boxes from a single point of contact using a variety of I/O formats, now including support for XML, HTTP, HTTPS, SSL, CSV, and the Asterisk-native standard format. Astmanproxy is written in c/pthreads (just like Asterisk) for speed and robustness.

Astmanproxy is written in c/pthreads (just like Asterisk) for speed and robustness.
Many other features have been added, including a new authentication layer and support for the Action: Challenge MD5 authentication method. SSL is now supported, so you can encrypt from client->proxy->asterisk, end-to-end. Talking to Asterisk via SSL requires that you are running an SSL-capable version of Asterisk (see bugs.digium.com #6812), but if you're not ready to do that then you can talk client->proxy via SSL.
One really interesting side effect of having both SSL and HTTP support natively is that we in fact now support HTTPS!
With the proxy configured on localhost:1234, you can do things along these lines:
https://localhost:1234/?
Action=ShowChannels&ActionID=Foo
This has been tested extensively with good results. The HTTP handler supports both GET and POST and can properly deal with XML or Standard output formats. With Autofilter=on, this paradigm is ideal for creating a simple REST-like interface into Asterisk (even multiple boxes!) with no web servers needed.
Digium has graciously offered the use of their SVN community server to host Astmanproxy development.
For the 1.20 release, 'svn checkout' from:

There are many new features, changes, and enhancements in 1.20. Please check them out and get us your feedback! We would love to hear what you think!
Cheers,
Dave
