That intelligence is built into the phone. I've seen phones do it for a directory URL without even being asked to. 


I'm not aware of any other variables like this, but it may be documented in the ip phone services sdk.

I know that I can send a #DEVICENAME# (or something like that) to a services URL to tell the service my MAC address. 

Two questions: 

    • is it the phone that intercepts that #DEVICENAME# and knows to send the MAC address as part of the service URL or is it the service itself which says "oh, i should look up the mac address" 
    • are there any other variables I can use? I'm looking for a random string of sorts that will change with each request. 

The reason I need this is that if I use a static value, chances are things can break. Or at least not work well.
