Thanks for the feedback. I need to use AMI just to make a call from an
AGI script, so hopefully, it won't be that hard.

I guess using the HTTP connection would be easier than Telnet. I've
been googling for half an hour but haven't found an example that shows
how to handle cookies. Does someone know if LuaSocket supports them,
or is there an add-on that I could use with LuaSocket?

Thank you.
