Hi everyone, we are encountering an issue when sending a large amount of data in an asterisk variable using the originate command. We are receiving the error message “Line too long: Variable:”

There is a hardcoded fixed length of a single AMI line in the implementation, it is 1025, which is 1024 + 1 byte for NULL terminator.

3

IIRC, the limit for a channel variable in an AGI is 1023.

Yes, there is a maximum limit, so we cannot exceed. Any solution for it?

I would change the value on this line: char inbuf[1025]; in manager.c (and recompile).

Multiple Variable headers are also permitted in AMI so they don’t need to exist on a single line, of course the library in use has to support. that as well.

Thanks, we recompile and then test it accordingly.
