[SR-Users] OFFTOPIC - Realtime testers needed - Asterisk Path header support (Oolong branch)

[Olle E. Johansson]

While this is not Kamailio - it's related. If you want to use Kamailio in front of Asterisk, you do need SIP Path header support in Asterisk to do it right. Especially if you have one Kamailio handling Internet-facing communication and one handling internal communication.

Please test!

> I have taken Klaus Darillion's patch for Path header support in Asterisk and created branches for 1.4, 1.8 and trunk. I need help testing it with realtime support by someone who are more used to the realtime databases than I am. I also need help completing the LDAP schemas with the new attribute.
> 
> General testing is also encouraged.

> I have been using this patch without realtime for a couple of months. So far no Squirrels where hurt in the progress. And no bugs hit me in the back.

> The SIP Path header support is documented in RFC 3327 (that has a strange title).

> Basically, this is used when you have a proxy between a phone and your Asterisk. Asterisk needs to remember the path to the device when sending an INVITE, so we save both the contact and the path (basically a route) to the phone when Asterisk receives a REGISTER. When sending an INVITE (or anything based on the registry) a route header is added and the message finds the proper way to the device.

> Path header support exists in the path module in Kamailio if you want to test.
