Summary:                    The contact exten field in the sip.conf register
string is not parsed
Description: 
The contact exten field for all registrations is set to "s" irrespective of
the value of the contact exten parameter in the register string.

This problem was first mentioned in note 97149 of issue 14185. I think
that the patches that address the primary problem with expiry in issue
14185 also address this contact exten issue. However if a separate patch is
needed for this alone then I can make one.

Do you want a specific patch for this or are you happy to take it with
issue 14185?

Re "All extra configurations should be done in a peer section referred to
by the register= line" - I strongly agree!

The register line should be no more than the peername and the expiry. In
fact the register line could be supported in the [peername] section as well
as the [general] section and in this case would have only the expiry e.g.

[peername]
register=600
host=sip.myitsp.com
username=myaccount
secret=mypassword
