[SR-Users] Re: making HTTP requests in stateless redirects

The term 'stateless' in the scope of a SIP proxy doesn't mean to keep track of the session (or the dialog). It means tracking the state of the transaction. In order to pause the current transaction and resume it (using http_async_query()), a stateful transaction must be created within Kamailio - and you've done this when you call `t_newtran()`. As a recommendation, rather than using `sl_send_reply()`, `t_reply()`, or `t_send_reply()`, just use `send_reply()`, which will send the reply statelessly if there's no transaction, and statefully if there is a transaction. If you want to make your replies LOOK stateless to request source, disable automatic 100 Trying from the TM module.

For testing purposes, while I am waiting for the ST/SH REST API to be available from other teams, I developed a small python REST API that returns a mockup of a JSON object with some of the required values. The kamailio script, completely stateless as I do not need to keep track of the sessions, iterates through one of the JSON branches and adds the destination URLs to the Contact header and replies a SIP 300 Multiple Choices. This works: the UAC does receive the SIP response with the Contacts , but it also receives a SIP 500 error message right after, and I can't figure out why. And i bet this is simple to solve.... Any clue? I'm aware I'm not processing ACK messages, but the sl_send_reply 403 should do the trick right? ... at least while testing.... Also, as this is a stateless script, is there another way of using async http or making http requests to a REST API without having to use TM Module? Thanks in advance.
