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

Thank you for the quick reply Klaus! I'm currently trying a new patch for the SIPT module created by Torrey Searle that allows me to modify the binary data on the BCI byte, the only caveat is that you have to receive the BCI to modify it, you can't create it on the fly. 

BR,

Hi Frederico, 

the only (quick) solution I had found was doing message parsing (MIME 
body) in an external PERL script, returning the information that I was 
searching for (from that body) to the config script and reducing the 
multipart body to a single body. This is (until now) working fine... 
However, I was using Kamailio version 3.2.x in this situation, but I 
think that there will be no change to the newest version, as it is a 
basic C language problem. 

Please note that PERL was the language that I was finding the fastest 
solution with. Maybe you can use an alternative language, too. 

regards, 
Klaus
