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

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”);
