Thanks for your input Daniel but pardon my ignorance as I am not 100% clear where I need to add that event_route[tm:local-request]. 

Here is the point where the REGISTER is being sent to Freeswitch.  So are you able to provide an example of where I send the real User-Agent of the device to Freeswitch?

# Forward REGISTER to FreeSwitch
route[REGFWD] {

        if(!is_method("REGISTER"))
        {
                return;
        }

        route(DISPATCH);
        $uac_req(method)="REGISTER";
        $uac_req(ruri)=$du;
        $uac_req(furi)=$fn + "<sip:" + $au + "@" + $ar + ">";
        $uac_req(turi)=$tn + "<sip:" + $au + "@" + $ar + ">";  
        $uac_req(hdrs)="Contact: <sip:" + $au + "@"
                                + $ar
                                + ";fs_path=sip:"
                                + $sel(cfg_get.kamailio.bindip)
                                + ":" + $sel(cfg_get.kamailio.bindport)
                                + ">"
                                + "\r\n";
        if($sel(contact.expires) != $null)
                $uac_req(hdrs)= $uac_req(hdrs) + "Expires: " + $sel(contact.expires) + "\r\n";
        else
                $uac_req(hdrs)= $uac_req(hdrs) + "Expires: " + $hdr(Expires) + "\r\n";
        uac_req_send();
        exit;
}

Thanks

Errol

You have to use event_route[tm:local-request] if you use uac module to send out new REGISTER.

I also tried your last suggestion at the point when the registeris being forwarded to FS but it had no effect

# Forward REGISTER to Freeswitch
route[REGFWD] {
        if(!is_method("REGISTER"))
        {
                return;
        }

        #if ( is_present_hf("User-Agent")) {
        remove_hf("User-Agent");
        append_hf("User-Agent: $ua\r\n");

        #}

Hi Rainer,

Yes I did try user_agent_header = "User-Agent: $ua"; but it just passes "$ua" to Freeswitch rather than the value of $ua.

Errol

Hello All,

I am using Kamailio in front of Freeswitch and Kamailio is handling the registrations then forwarding to Freeswitch and everything is working for the most part.

However, there is niggling pain in the neck issue where the user's User-Agent shows in Freeswitch as kamailio (4.0.6 (x86_64/linux))  instead of the user's Real User-Agent I am trying to get Kamailio to pass the real User-Agent of the user without success.

I am able to set a static User-Agent by doing this in the global section.

user_agent_header = "User-Agent:  We love beer";

However, I am unable to set it dynamically for example:

user_agent_header = "User-Agent: " + $ua;
have you tried ...

user_agent_header = "User-Agent: $ua";

?
Have you tried to remove the original hf (User-Agent) and set the new one like:

remove_hf("User-Agent");
append_hf("User-Agent: $ua\r\n");

?


With is one Kamailio doesn't even start so my syntax is probably wrong.

I also tried playing around with the textops module so I have ran out of ideas

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance.

regards,

Errol
