The WebRTC Gateway is built with OpenSSL library version 1.0.1g. This version of OpenSSL is not affected by the TLS heartbeat read overrun issue.
The WebRTC Gateway supports receiving INFO data in www-form-urlencoded format from the browser in the middle of a call, and forwarding it to the SIP Server using the SIP INFO method.
The WebRTC Gateway accepts + as a valid first character of a DN.
The WebRTC Gateway includes support for Cross-Origin Resource Sharing (CORS).
JavaScript libraries for integration with web applications, communications, and attached data transfer
The WebRTC JSAPI provides a configuration parameter to specify the time (in milliseconds) to wait for an answer from the peer side after making an offer. If that timeout expires and the offer is still not answered, then the JSAPI sends the onPeerNoanswer event to the client application.
The minimum valid value for this timeout is 18000 (18 seconds) and the default value is 60000 (60 seconds).
The WebRTC JSAPI provides a mechanism for mid-session data transfer for the following scenarios:
- Between two peers
- From a peer to the SIP Server as mapped user data
