[SR-Users] Re: Registrar / Path

Hi Henning, thanks for your reply. I have successfully used PATH before as you describe. This model, however, I am having Kamailio issue a 302 Redirect, and, I need to take the recorded PATH information and put it into the 302 Redirect Contact field, to send back with sl_send_reply. Sl_send_reply does not seem to do that automatically even after a lookup() and reg_fetch. I was able to figure out the textops transforms and get the data into a Contact header, though I’m not 100% confident I’m creating a correct Contact, as sometimes the PATH can be quite complex and I’m taking only the host part and reconstructing a contact from that. I guess I will have to scour the RFC and do some learning 😊 I was hoping this particular scenario had been baked into Kamailio previously and I just needed to find the right configuration options to exercise it. On my second issue: I am left however with an inability to remove the existing Contact from the reply. I tried remove_hf before sl_send_reply, but either it doesn’t remove the Contact field, or, sl_send_reply adds the Contact field.

But basically, if you want to just forward REGISTER message from one Kamailio to the other, you can use “forward()” or “r_relay()” for stateless respectively stateful forwarding. The path extension was designed to take the same way routing e.g. an INVITE to an user agent as it came through your infrastructure. It will work automatically by setting the destination URI if it path is set and you are using the “lookup(..)” function.

(which then does DMQ with another CN like it). Both RS and CN are storing Path information, for example: kamctl ul show displays on both RS and CN: "Path": "sip:vs-rs01.blah.foo.bar;lr;received=sip:3.4.5.6:33577", So I know the path info is in there. I want CN , when presented with an INVITE, to reply with a 302 Redirect. Right now I have this: if (!lookup("location",sip:$tU@nodomain)) { } reg_fetch_contacts("location", "$tu", "called"); xlog("location info $ulc(called=>path)"); sl_send_reply("302","Redirect"); and the xlog does display the path. Good, so I have it being sent all the way through RS and CN and into CN’s USRLOC. but this isn’t complete. I am now faced with two issues. One, I need to mangle the Path into a Contact header for the Redirect. Two, I need to delete the Contact header that sl_send_reply is putting on there, which is the Contact as RS sees it from the endpoint. This needs to be removed and replaced with a Contact of only the RS server. It feels like there ought to be a simpler way to do this than parsing the Path string and reassembling a Contact from it, but if there is it's not readily apparent. Both Google and chatgpt have failed me :) Thanks in advance, Jawaid
