[OpenSER-Users] Modify $au to lowercase

[Peter P GMX]

Hello Christian,

that seems to be a solution in conjunction with the perl module. When 
will 1.3 be available?

BTW: I am always wondering why such "normal" things as overwriting vars 
and general string substutution is so limited in OpenSER. Besides 
superficial documentation (everyone has to try and error and to reinvent 
the whole thing by himself), the main job is research ing for tricky 
workarounds in order to make things running. I am running a number of 
Asterisk PBX (release version 1.2) -- and there it's so easy!

Kind regards
Peter
