[SR-Users] problem with core forward function

[Juha Heinanen]

now that the send function issue got resolved, i tried core forward
function.  core cookbook tells:

forward

Forward the SIP request to the given destination in stateless mode. This
has the format of [proto:]host[:port]. Host can be an IP or hostname;
supported protocols are UDP, TCP and TLS. (For TLS, you need to compile
the TLS support into core). If proto or port are not specified, NAPTR
and SRV lookups will be used to determine them (if possible).

If destination parameter is missing, the forward will be done based on RURI.

Example of usage:

  forward("10.0.0.10:5060");
  #or
  forward();

i then went i tried

   forward("tcp:192.98.102.20:5070");

but got errors from that line:

Apr  7 13:52:10 siika /usr/sbin/sip-proxy[22923]: : <core> [proxy.c:278]: ERROR: mk_proxy: could not resolve hostname: "tcp:192.98.102.20:5070"

i also tried with

forward_tcp("192.98.102.20:5070");

but it didn't help either:

Apr  7 13:54:24 siika /usr/sbin/sip-proxy[23056]: : <core> [proxy.c:278]: ERROR: mk_proxy: could not resolve hostname: "192.98.102.20:5070"

how should core cookbook be fixed this time?
