[SR-Users] Calling users on another kamailio server

[Peter Dunkley]

Hello,

It'd be better if the "add_path()" function could be used here.  That way,
if using outbound (RFC5626), the flow-token (the userinfo part of the
Path-URI) would be present and there would be no need to add the
";received" parameter.

This would address the one issue remaining for SIP outbound on Kamailio,
which is its use without an edge proxy that is separate from the registrar.

Regards,

Peter
