Re: [SR-Users] force_send_socket

OK, I touched off a controversy with my use of the word "deprecated" that I did not intend, as the implied intellectual or policy commitment to that word is not really strong. :-) What I meant through that particular choice of words is that there is, among those with some lengthy experience with the OpenSER pedigree, a recognised set of core functions and ancient modules which correspond to a different era of SER/OpenSER, and are not complementary to the ways of doing things that are concomitant with the present generation of the system. Examples from modules include most of the `avpops` module functions, as well as the `usr_preferences` table - both take us back to a time before generic SQL queries and arbitrary data sources were a first-class aspect of Kamailio, as with the `sqlops` module, `htable`, etc. In the core, there are lots of functions such as strip(), prefix(), rewritehostport(), and, in my view, force_send_socket(). These functions don't take PV arguments, and are superceded by the more flexible direct manipulation of the RURI, the destination set, and $fs, along with the wealth of transformations available nowadays, which can be chained. Not everyone shares this exact set of tacit assumptions, I imagine, and I think that's what got folk exercised when I said "deprecated". These functions will surely remain for backward compatibility. -- Alex On Mon, Oct 08, 2018 at 02:07:23PM +0300, Juha Heinanen wrote: -- Alex Balashov | Principal | Evariste Systems LLC Tel: +1-706-510-6800 / +1-800-250-5920 (toll-free) Web: http://www.evaristesys.com/, http://www.csrpswitch.com/
