Should vicidial API use POST or GET

[SPAMSAM]

Relatively version agnostic question.

When using libraries line curl, wget, python to make API calls is the GET or POST method preferred?

Either is fine as far as VICIdial is concerned. It's often easier to program as a GET, but using POST allows larger query strings and is more secure(if you are going outside of a local network).

For a bit more depth: Example from the non-agent api:

Code: Select all

if (isset($_GET["caller_id_name"]))                             {$caller_id_name=$_GET["caller_id_name"];}
        elseif (isset($_POST["caller_id_name"]))        {$caller_id_name=$_POST["caller_id_name"];}


The system specifically checks for and captures GET first and POST second. Since using both is ... never done, either is fine.
