Description:	The IF function does not work if one of the values contain colon. It is impossible to quote the colon in a way which actually works. With this in the dial plan: exten => 1013,1,NoOp(${IF(1?http://foo/:http://bar/)}) exten => 1013,n,NoOp(${IF(1?"http://foo/":"http://bar/")}) exten => 1013,n,NoOp(${IF(1?http\://foo/:"http\://bar/)}) exten => 1013,n,NoOp(${IF(1?"http\://foo/":"http\://bar/")}) I get this output:    -- Executing NoOp("SIP/774-097fdc80", "http") in new stack    -- Executing NoOp("SIP/774-097fdc80", ""http") in new stack    -- Executing NoOp("SIP/774-097fdc80", "http") in new stack    -- Executing NoOp("SIP/774-097fdc80", ""http") in new stack ****** ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ****** (Why can't I select 1.2.15 in product version when reporting an issue?)
Comments:	By: Steve Murphy (murf) 2007-03-02 11:28:03.000-0600 The documentation (show function IF) for this function is clear: the semicolon divides two options. It's a really simplistic parser, and no amount of quoting or backslashing will fool it. I suggest trying a different approach: (in AEL):    if (condition)       Set(x=http://foo/etc);    else       Set(x=http://bar/etc); You could argue that we picked a bad sep char; but my guess is that no matter what char we chose, someone would be unhappy.
