[SR-Users] RFC: best way to create dialogs

Hi! I use the dialog module to count and limit concurrent calls per user. It worked fine with 4.1.7 but fails with 4.2.2. My config basically looks like: route{ ... dlg_manage() ... authentication (stateless replies + exit) ... t_on_reply() t_on_branch() ... t_relay() exit; } initial_cbs_inscript uses the default value 1. Using 4.1.7, after stateless reply+exit, Kamailio executes dialog callbacks and deletes the dialog: [dlg_var.c:55]: dlg_cfg_cb(): new dialog with no trasaction after config execution [dlg_hash.c:872]: dlg_unref(): unref dlg 0xb233c3a0 with 1 -> 1 [dlg_hash.c:872]: dlg_unref(): unref dlg 0xb233c3a0 with 1 -> 0 [dlg_hash.c:872]: dlg_unref(): ref <=0 for dialog 0xb233c3a0 [dlg_hash.c:355]: destroy_dlg(): destroying dialog 0xb233c3a0 (ref 0) With 4.2.2, after stateless reply+exit, Kamailio just exits without calling any dialog callback (to destroy the dialog) I think I could work around the problem by creating the transaction later. Here are some ideas and I would be happy about your comments and best practices. - set initial_cbs_inscript to 0 - call dlg_manage() just before t_relay - do not use dlg_manage() but use the dialog flag and set the flag somewhere before t_relay Finally, do t_on_reply() and t_on_branch() already create the transaction or is it created with t_relay()?
