i dont know the rfc part of via headers itself, but i think its a good way at all.

what happens if there is a record route and a via header in one sip message? I dont know if this could happens but IMHO record route overrules a via.

    via could not be zero here cause you allready check this 5 rows aboth without changing via in between.



/branches/1.4/channels/chan_sip.c
<https://reviewboard.asterisk.org/r/1059/#comment6252>

    Maybe it would be better to check the response of get_header before. its not necessary to call this function on every sip message if there is no via header. 
    ast_strdupa in function calls could cause some strange issues. there was something about this some weeks ago.



best regards

Without this patch, the response is simply routed back to the address we received the initial request from (unless nat=yes is set).

Without the patch, our asterisk machine sends all responses to the INFO requests to the proxy, with the patch they are properly routed to the requesting asterisk machine.  I also briefly tested with openser configured to use the Record-Route header as a stateful proxy.
