[sr-dev] kamailio core-cookbook update request for stateless core functions "send" and "forward"

Hello, could you please update the core cookbook for Kamailio release 4.0.0? The core functions "send" and "send_tcp" are including wrong examples of usage (since many previous versions....). You have written the example send("10.10.10.10:5070"); which is representing a socket, but not a hostname. However, caused by the double quote it is interpreted as a hostname and kamailio is trying to resolve that string. As it is (mostly) not resolvable, kamailio cannot start. Many newbies are having a problem with this fault. I guess forward() and its variations will have the same problem, when a target is added within the brackets (instead of using pseudo variables). I recommend adding a second example - one for an ip address based target and one for a domain target with correct forms e.g. send(10.10.10.10, 5070); send("kamailio.org"); thanks Klaus -------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: kamailio doc update Datum: Tue, 15 Jan 2013 14:50:14 +0000 Von: FEICHTINGER Klaus <Klaus.FEICHTINGER(a)frequentis.com> An: Klaus Feichtinger (klaus.feichtinger(a)inode.at) <klaus.feichtinger(a)inode.at> Please update CORE Cookbook *send* Send the original SIP message to a specific destination in stateless mode. No changes are applied to received message, no Via header is added. Host can be an IP or hostname. Used protocol: UDP Parameter is mandatory and has string format. Example of usage: send("10.10.10.10:5070"); Is not a valid example. Correct would be: send(10.10.10.10, 5070); for IP address + port or send("myHost.com");
