sip: links

[Christian Thaeter]

anyone of you happen to have a url handler for 'sip:' links invoking a
telephony app (eg. linphone) when clicked? Otherwise I may give a
try on my own nonexistent elisp skills :D

Note to self: The code below works for me, maybe someone finds it useful
or wants to improve it.

The attached org-dial.el provides support for a link type `tel:' as well
as for dialing from properties in org-contacts.

Enjoy.

looks good, I'll use that instead of my hack. I've a minor ideas to add:

Instead just append the telephone number to the end of the
dial command one could use (org-replace-escapes STRING TABLE), that
allows little more flexible commandline generation.

	Thanks

Look out for bugs.  It's one of my very first emacs-lisp hacks.

Thanks for the hint.  Could you please give me an example where this
increased flexibility would be required?

I am using linphone too, where that just works to append the
sanitized telephone number at the end. But I can imagine that other
dial programs may have different calling conventions. Also I may feel a
bit safer by quoting the telephone number, For example:

  linephone -c 'sip:%n'

Maybe in the long run (I have no urge here, works for me now).
You/we/someone could make this whole thing more generic, handling
different kinds of communication protocols (I made another one for
xmpp: meanwhile).

tel: urls are somewhat simple https://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc3966.txt
(still surprisingly more syntax than just a number) but when you look
at sip: http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3261#section-19.1 things get way
more complicated.

Cool, what do you do with "xmpp:"?

just opening 'psi-plus' here with a message window, I haven't figured
out how to do more (aka all this xmpp: url variants)

Again, just a crude works-for-me snippet:


;;; org-xmpp.el - Support for xmpp communication
(require 'org)

(org-add-link-type "xmpp" 'org-xmpp-open)


(defcustom org-xmpp-command "psi-plus --remote --uri='%u'"
  "The Emacs command to be used to make a xmpp request."
  :group 'org-link
  :type '(string))

(defun org-xmpp-open (destination)
  "make a xmpp to DESTINATION"
  (start-process-shell-command "xmpp" nil
                               (org-replace-escapes org-xmpp-command
                                                    `(("%u" . ,destination)))))

(provide 'org-xmpp)
;;; org-xmpp.el ends here
