[cisco-voip] Change Corp Dir without loosing/breaking PersonalDirectories (6.1)

Thu Jan 8 08:18:37 EST 2009

Andrew,

The phone only appends the 'name' querystring parameter to the initial HTTP
GET request. If they appended it to every GET request it could interfere
with someone else's script - for example if you had a parameter in your
script called NAME then you would end up with two values for it - the one
you were passing in your application and then the second value that the
phone was automatically sending. If you need to test with it as a service
rather than an enterprise parameter you could add a "name" parameter to the
service you configure and manually put in the SEPXXXXXXXXXXXX value for each
phone you subscribe to that service.
