1015085 - Loop server - Implement "User Calls Other User by ID" flow

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(Hello (Loop) :: Server, defect, P1)

Description

[Romain Testard [:RT]]

If a contact holds multiple identities (e-mail addresses and phone numbers), these multiple identities are sent to the server which will notify identities which are registered and connected of an incoming call request.
If multiple identities are registered they are all notified though push notifications and the first identity which answers or declines causes all other engaged identities to have their incoming calls cancelled (first who answers or declines wins).

Comment 1

[Romain Testard [:RT]]

Concerns related to load issues when sending a long list of identities should be addressed by the fact that the server will only try to reach connected registered identities and will discard others.

This is looping on the given list and trying to call them in turn, if the simple push url exists.

Comment 3

[Alexis Metaireau (:alexis)]

We want to have an API exposed to do a POST on /calls.


Client would need to pass in the body the list of users she want to reach. It will get in return a caller token, in the same way described in the call to /call/{token}
