Hello all, context first, we have an REST API that performs queries to external devices in the network (diameter to DRA's, REST to different servers) and based on n conditions returns the content for a Contact header to be used in a SIP 302.

Now we're consuming this API with http_client (synchronously) and as there's no way to speed up the API (pipeline executions, delays on external api's etc etc) we're hitting a limit where all children become busy waiting for the API to answer.

So i decided to move to http_async_client and started working on it on the lab with this first and base concept to test.

request_route {

#for testing purposes only
if(is_method("ACK")){
exit;
}
$http_req(all) = $null;
$http_req(suspend) = 1;
$http_req(timeout) = 500;
$http_req(method) = "POST";
$http_req(hdr) = "Content-Type: application/json";
jansson_set("string", "event", "sip-routing", "$var(cre_query)");
xlog("L_INFO","API ASYNC ROUTING REQUEST: $var(cre_query)\n");
$http_req(body) = $var(cre_query);
t_newtran();
http_async_query("http://192.168.86.128:8000/", "CRE_RESPONSE");
}

http://192.168.86.128:8000/ receives the POST, randomly creates a delay between 0.5 and 1 second and responds (simulating the real api with an excess delay to probe the concept)

Then

route[CRE_RESPONSE] {
if ($http_ok && $http_rs == 200) {
xlog("L_INFO","CRE RESPONSE: $http_rb\n");
# for testing purpose, Contact content will be replaced from the received api response
append_to_reply("Contact: <sip:1234@google.com>\r\n");
send_reply(302,"Moved Temporarily");
exit;
}
send_reply(500, "Internal error");
exit;
}

INVITE is received and processed, API is called, after API response, 302 is replied and then an ACK (ignored by now).

Situation is that the 302 retransmitted

Any help to avoid the retransmission and make the transaction just finish right after the 302 will be appreciated.
