It's a Grandstream BT102. I did a SIP debug, and whereas calling Hangup from
the dialplan generates a SIP BYE, which hangs up the phone normally, if I
call AGI(agi://localhost/foo) and the server isn't running, there is no
SIP BYE, only a SIP CANCEL.

Actually, writing that made me wonder. My dialplan was like this:

exten => 8008,1,Answer
exten => 8008,n,AGI(agi://localhost/foo)
exten => 8008,n,Playback(vm-goodbye)
exten => 8008,n,Hangup
exten => h,1,NoOp(Hangup in context ${CONTEXT})

I've just gone back and added a Wait(0.5) between the Answer and AGI, and
now the phone gets correctly hung up when AGI returns -1. So the SIP issue
was presumably that the call setup hadn't completed when it was hung up,
and nothing to do with AGI. I get exactly the same effect with this:

exten => 8009,1,Answer
exten => 8009,n,Hangup

The remaining issue is probably just a design change in AGI: if it gets
a connection refused, or even some other error, it would be more useful
to set a channel variable instead of just hanging up, so that the dialplan
could take a fallback path with the call still live.

Cheers
Tony
