> As part of the development of push notifications for Windows phone for the Zoiper softphone, we've discovered that after some version (this AFAIK worked with 1.4), Asterisk starts truncating the To: header if it finds it too large. This leads to nasty issues, for example broken SIP packets in some cases.
> Asterisk 11.9 didn't give a very useful message:
> failed to extend from 256 to 427
> Asterisk 13.9.1 gives the following:
> [May 27 16:02:21] ERROR[25411][C-0000001b]: chan_sip.c:14348 initreqprep: The To header was truncated in call '25b40e7f1e385c1e498e17d35ef28515 at 10.8.1.11:5060'. This call setup will fail.
> which is a bit more useful, but doesn't help with the problem itself. I'll attach a packet capture with the problem, where it's visible that asterisk sends an invite with a To: header that looks like this:
> To: <sip:push1 at 10.8.3.92:50068;transport=TCP;rinstance=4015b61ba94093b5;X-PUSH-URI=http://e.notify.live.net/u/1/db5/H2QAAABZevVMbUI_okG-i5MjqfgHM8pKQ4-e3m7bKOGXxA9bBxPEXLj0gYK50BliT1FrnU8xtXJzYYPmTvQ1DIXqNfHK-MtAo3b9ppbBsGz6GjYHA-p-yAZ6R2r2xql6ViL727I/d2luZG9
> (e.g. the closing '>' is missing). The contact is also truncated (there are some more bytes to it).
> AFAIK in the code there are some static arrays to hold these headers, which creates the issue.
> The RFCs don't have any limitation on these headers, and there are also drafts that use these fields extensively (see for example https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ivanov-sipcore-pnsip/ ). This also seems to be a regression from previous versions, and not something we've found as an issue with other SIP gateways.
