Description:In extensions.conf I have this line:
exten = s,n,SIPAddHeader(Call-Info: sip:192.168.1.222 \; answer-after=0 )
This line has been added with vi
From asterisk cli i can  "reload" then "dialplan show" and its OK.

If I click "activate changes" in Asterisk-GUI the backslash is removed.
This breaks the function.

exten = s,n,SIPAddHeader(Call-Info: sip:192.168.1.222 ; answer-after=0 )

I have tried a few things to overide this such as using as single and double quotes.
If I put additional backslashes in, it removes one each time I click "activate changes".

That makes sense

the backslash, as you know, is an escape character.

since its being URI encoded and decoded, and jsoninized and what not, try to escape your escape character (//) instead of (/)

The escape character must be backslash \
Forward slash does not work, no matter how many. / or // or //\ or /\

The problem is that the escape character is there to escape a semicolon
like this \;
The semicolon will be interpreted by asterisk as semicolon without the escape character.

The escape character allows the semicolon to be sent in the sip header.
Without an escape everything after the semicolon does not get sent in the sip header. Therefore "answer-after=0" is not sent.

I have also tried single quotes but the GUI reload ignores these and removed the backslash.

Pari:

Can you check this out when your done with the aadk blocking things?

It looks like a simple regex thing were doing wrong.

Any luck asteredge?

qwell,

this is actually a asterisk webserver bug.
as asteredge mentioned,
add

exten = s,n,SIPAddHeader(Call-Info: sip:192.168.1.222 \; answer-after=0 )

to your extensions.conf and do a reload from the gui.
(the reload from the gui is actually an "updateconfig with reload=yes" request on extensions.conf as a dummy request to get an asterisk reload)

you can see that the updateconfig request changing the extensions.conf to

exten = s,n,SIPAddHeader(Call-Info: sip:192.168.1.222 ; answer-after=0 )

I will look into this also, its probably pretty simple.

So to recreate just "active changes" would do it right?
