Session originate

Originates a new call with an existing session object.

WARNING

Deprecated

Indeed! Avi Marcus couldn't figure out how to get this to work, so he used the following to access the API originate:

api = freeswitch.API()
api:execute("originate", "sofia/gateway/mygateway/123456789 9664")

Note: Use "session.originate" if no other options exist. You can originate calls using the session constructor:

session = freeswitch.Session("sofia/gateway/mygateway/123456789")
session.transfer(9664);

result = new_session.originate(session, dest[, timeout]);
