Hello *,

while trying to figure out how to send custom events from mod_socket
with "sendmsg" (like a telnet connection or something) i only found
how to do that from within javascript (with e.fire() and stuff).

So... first of all, how's the correct syntax to do that from the
event_socket? the wiki states
---
sendmsg <uuid>

Send a message to the call of given uuid (call-command execute or
hangup), see examples
below.
---


Is there a secret syntax i missed how to send "CUSTOM" events?

I tried to work-around that by setting a channel-variable and then
calling the info-app. That way, a channel_execute event is fired and
shows up in my event_socket-app.
If there's a prettier way... please ignore the following up to the
<snipp> mark

so it looked to me that i can only send "command" messages and looking
at the sources i found that mod_socket will hard-wire the event-name
to "SWITCH_EVENT_COMMAND" (in read_packet() in
./mod/event_handlers/mod_event_socket/mod_event_socket.c). If i
understand correctly how e.g.. the mod_spidermonkey-bindings enqueue
events, the event-name is taken from the user and can therefor be
"CUSTOM" (looks like it's being looked up in the
switch_event_types_t-enum).
---
if (switch_name_event(ename, &etype) !=
SWITCH_STATUS_SUCCESS) {
switch_log_printf(SWITCH_CHANNEL_LOG,
SWITCH_LOG_WARNING, "Unknown event %s\n", ename);
*rval = BOOLEAN_TO_JSVAL(JS_FALSE);
return JS_TRUE;
}

if (etype == SWITCH_EVENT_CUSTOM) {
[...]
if (switch_event_create_subclass(&event, etype, subclass_name) !=
SWITCH_STATUS_SUCCESS) {

If it's currently not possible, do you think this could be useful, too?
I thought a bit about the syntax and came up with this idea to not
break compatibility, but feel free to change that, you know it better

if you want to send an event that's not COMMAND, use "event-name:
CUSTOM" as the first line after the "sendmsg [uuid]" and change the
event-name (if that's possible) of the event already created by
read_packet() or reconstruct the event or ...

<snipp>

Just another idea..... that could become handy is if there would be an
event "CHANNEL_VAR_CHANGED", fired/enqueued by setvar(),
setvar_multi() and friends. But as i write this i admit that one will
be overwhelmed by the setvar massacre for example bridge() would do to
set "disposition"-variables... Just a thought.

Cheers
Beni.
