[SR-Users] TEXTOPS parser problem with binary data in MIME body

[Klaus Feichtinger]

Hello,

I have a problem with Kamailio version 3.2.4 (tested also with 3.3.5)
regarding "binary data" in message bodies. According RFC3261 it is
explicitly allowed using binary data within MIME bodies:

RFC 3261 section 7.4.1:   SIP messages MAY contain binary bodies or body
parts. When no  explicit charset parameter is provided by the sender,
media subtypes  of the "text" type are defined to have a default charset
value of  "UTF-8".

However, the Kamailio function "Regular Expression Transformation"
(re.subst), which is based on the transformation class (exported by the
textops module) is causing problems in our customer system. In regular
scenarios, Kamailio is receiving SIP INVITE messages with a MIME body,
which is containing following parts:
 - application/sdp (standard conform)
 - application/x-q931  (Cisco proprietary with BINARY data!)
 - application/gtd (Cisco proprietary with ASCII strings)

The content of the "x-q931" and "gtd" body parts is depending on (UUS1)
data that were received on the ISDN line. Kamailio has to forward
User-User specific information from the ISDN line to SIP user agents (in
form of the "User-to-User" header field). The content of these UUS1 data
may contain also byte values "00", which is legitimate. In general,
Kamailio is in every INVITE message searching specific content in the
last body (application/gtd) and copying this content to a config
variable. As soon as the x-q931 body contains nul values (0x00 in binary
format), the parser stops at this position and cannot parse the rest of
the message. Therefore, I am missing the information that should be
copied to the SIP header field, as the parser stops before the end of
the message body!

As long as the message body does not contain 0x00, it is working fine!

My question is:
 - is this a bug in Kamailio parsing functions?
 - is this a design issue of Kamailio text parsers (as binary data are
allowed acc. RFC3261) - does anybody know a solution for this problem?
This "bug" is causing big troubles....

Thanks in advance,
Klaus Feichtinger
