Generating configurations dynamically with language bindings

If you would rather not set up a web server to process scripts, FreeSWITCH gives you the option of handling the same binding requests with the built-in scripting languages. All of the scripting language modules allow you to set the parameters so that you can have a script that handles requests which is the same as the mod_xml_curl script. The most commonly used languages are as follows:

• Lua with mod_lua

• Perl with mod_perl

• Python with mod_python

Note

FreeSWITCH also supports Microsoft .NET languages by means of mod_managed. However, its usage is different than that of the scripting languages of Lua, Perl, and Python. More information can be found online at http://wiki.freeswitch.org/wiki/Mod_managed.

Looking in conf/autoload_configs/ you will see configuration files for each language:

• lua.conf.xml

• perl.conf.xml

• python.conf.xml

Open any one of these and you'll see some parameters like the following:

<param name="xml-handler-bindings"value...
