[SR-Users] force_send_socket

[Alex Balashov]

Henning, 

I personally agree with this. But perhaps there are different points of view out there - about how multiple ways to do a thing  represents a thriving marketplace of ideas. After all, there is a reason Perl evolved the way it did, surely...

Hello Alex,

to add something more on the general level:

If we have old core functions (in a class like this one) that can be replaced 
completely with a new PV assigment or similar function, then we should indeed 
deprecate them with a log warning and then remove them completely later.

It is probably confusing especially for newcomers to Kamailio to have several 
functions with different semantics and syntax. 

Best regards,

Henning
