nodast is (for now) an Asterisk FastAGI reverse proxy on node .
nodast receives FastAGI requests from Asterisk (or other nodast as a matter of fact), inspect incoming stream for AGI request details. Looking more specifically at the agi_request parameter, the AGI URL is then matched against the config route definitions, where route definitions values are either static or dynamic. Dynamic values are simply JavaScript closure blocks, with /this/ pointing to a variable context containing all request parameters along with regexp match group items. The dynamic function is simply rewriting the AGI URL, changing the destination hostname and port as necessary. The resulting route is NOT re-injected back into route matching engine for further resolution.
Once route has been resolved, nodast then look for upstream definitions and replace logical name with upstream equivalent.
The following list all available context variables for dynamic route definition.
$network_script
$request
$channel
$language
$type
$uniqueid
$version
$callerid
$calleridname
$callingpres
$callingani2
$callington
$callingtns
$dnid
$rdnis
$context
$extension
$priority
$enhanced
$accountcode
$threadid

- Basic config definition with location and upstream
- Basic command line test mode (
nodast -t 'agi://foobar.com:8080/querystring') - Syslog
- Daemon init mode
$ git clone git://github.com/pdeschen/nodast.git
$ sudo npm install nodast -g
$ sudo nodast --install
- Publish to npm repository
- Add location reinjection?
- Add request logging details along with logging level in config.
- Add load balancing support between upstreams
- Add failover/backup upstream
- Add SSL/TLS support between node (asterisk → node → ssl → node → fastagi server
- Add support for AMI
- Scriptable?
