send fax Action

Starts a fax session on an outbound call and sends a tif file. This can be the name of a file in the Aculab media file store or the URL of a remote file.

language wrappers and examples

The send fax properties are:

Property	Required/Optional	Default	Description
fax to send	required		The tif file to send. This can be the file name or a web page request. If a file name is given the file must be present in the Aculab media file store. If a web page request object is given it must identify a suitable media file that is available on the web. The web page request method defaults to GET.
progress page	optional	-	A web page request object that defines where fax progress reports are to be sent.
next page	optional	-	A web page request object that defines the page to be requested once the fax session has finished. If `null` or no page is specified then the subsequent action in the action array will be executed.
decryption cipher	optional	-	A cipher object to be used to decrypt the tif file to send, if it is encrypted. Cannot be used if `fax to send` is a web page request.

If a web page request is supplied for fax to send, the URL supplied should point to a page that will upload a tif file. The URL can be a relative or full path. The request method defaults to GET. Only GET is supported.

When the URL is accessed, Aculab Cloud will expect to receive image data. No information will be sent to the URL, i.e., instance info will NOT be sent, and no actions can be returned from the URL. Aculab Cloud implements cacheing, so HTTP cache-control headers will be honoured. The maximum size of a file to be uploaded is five megabytes, which is at least thirty fax pages. If your file has been cached and you need it to be refreshed immediately you can force a refresh by changing the url. An easy way to do this is to add a version number to your url.

For example, if your URL is http://Badger.set.com:80/my_tif_page?filename=my_fax.tif&version=1 it will be easy to change version to 2 and force a refresh.

Progress

The progress page is called after initial negotiation and then after each page that is sent. It contains updated information regarding the outbound fax. The progress page will receive instance information containing an action progress object that contains details for the fax as follows:

Property	Availability	Description
negotiated settings	always	A negotiated fax settings object containing fax negotiation details, e.g., the modem and data rate.
pages sent	always	The number of pages that have been sent.
reconnects	always	An integer. The number of times the outbound fax session has had to place a new call (normally 0). For longer faxes, the outbound call can disconnect if the line experiences a glitch or noise. The outbound fax session will automatically call again and continue the fax from where it left off.

Note that progress notifications are not returned to the application directly, but to the progress page. A page that receives a progress notification should respond with a 204 response code indicating no content.

Returns

The http request to the next page will provide final termination details of the fax session in action result as follows:

Property	Availability	Description
description	always	A string describing whether the fax was sent successfully. The string will be one of 'fax delivered', 'partial delivery', 'not delivered' or 'not a fax machine'.
seconds duration	always	A floating point value to one decimal place. The number of seconds for which the fax session was active.
pages sent	always	An integer. The number of pages that were sent.

Examples:

Send a fax using the defaults:
```
"send_fax": 
{
    "fax_to_send": "my_fax.tif"
}
```
Note that by default there is no progress page defined. Also, note that by default there is no next page defined, so no action result is returned.
To send a remote fax using the defaults:
```
"send_fax": 
{
    "fax_to_send": { "url" : "http://Badger.set.com:80/my_tif_page?filename=my_fax.tif&version=1" }
}
```

Send a fax and specify a next page to receive the result of the send:

"send_fax":
{
    "fax_to_send": "my_fax.tif",
    "next_page":
    {
        "url": "my_fax_handler_page"
    }
}

The following may be returned to the next page once the fax session has terminated:

"action_result":
{
    "action": "send_fax",
    "result":
    {
        "description": "fax delivered",
        "seconds_duration": 21.5,
        "pages_sent": 2
    }
}

Send a fax from an encrypted file and specify a next page to receive the result of the send. Supply a cipher to decrypt the fax:

"send_fax":
{
    "fax_to_send": "my_encrypted_fax.tif",
    "decryption_cipher": 
    {
        "type" : "aescbc",
        "key" : "1F2DEB2E502A4C8CBA58AB5018BD1506419EEA86DF595D3A431F43FAF57534C9",
        "initialisation_vector" : "9B85FAED9AB17570D5A82A31F846443B"
    },
    "next_page":
    {
        "url": "my_fax_handler_page"
    }
}

The following may be returned to the next page once the fax session has terminated:

"action_result":
{
    "action": "send_fax",
    "result":
    {
        "description": "fax delivered",
        "seconds_duration": 21.5,
        "pages_sent": 2
    }
}

Send a fax, specify a progress page and a next page:

"send_fax":
{
    "fax_to_send": "my_fax.tif",
    "progress_page": 
    {
        "url": "my_progress_handler_page"
    },
    "next_page":
    {
        "url": "my_fax_handler_page"
    }
}

The following may be returned to the progress page after the first page has been sent:

"action_progress":
{
    "action": "send_fax",
    "progress": 
    {
        "negotiated_settings": 
        {
            "data_rate": 9600,
            "modem": "V17",
            "remote_subscriber_id": "12345"
        },
        "pages_sent": 1,
        "reconnects": 0
    }
}

The following may be returned to the next page once the fax session has terminated:

"action_result":
{
    "action": "send_fax",
    "result":
    {
        "description": "fax delivered",
        "seconds_duration": 21.5,
        "pages_sent": 2
    }
}

Send Fax Progress

The Send Fax Progress is represented by a dictionary. It is found within the action progress for the progress page.

Obtaining the Send Fax Progress dictionary:

my_request = TelephonyRequest(request)
action_result = my_request.get_action_progress()
if action_result.get("action") == "send_fax":
    txfax_progress =  action_result.get("progress")

Send Fax Result

The Send Fax Result is represented by a dictionary. It is found within the action result for the next page.

Obtaining the Send Fax Result dictionary:

my_request = TelephonyRequest(request)
action_result = my_request.get_action_result()
if action_result.get("action") == "send_fax":
    txfax_result =  action_result.get("result")
