[asterisk-dev] Realtime testers needed - Path header support (Oolong branch)

[Olle E. Johansson]

Friends,

I have taken Klaus Darillion's patch for Path header support in Asterisk and created branches for 1.4, 1.8 and trunk. I need help testing it with realtime support by someone who are more used to the realtime databases than I am. I also need help completing the LDAP schemas with the new attribute.

General testing is also encouraged. 

I have been using this patch without realtime for a couple of months. So far no Squirrels where hurt in the progress. And no bugs hit me in the back.

Read more about the patch here:

Klaus' original review:
https://reviewboard.asterisk.org/r/991/

The SIP Path header support is documented in RFC 3327 (that has a strange title).

Basically, this is used when you have a proxy between a phone and your Asterisk. Asterisk needs to remember the path to the device when sending an INVITE, so we save both the contact and the path (basically a route) to the phone when Asterisk receives a REGISTER. When sending an INVITE (or anything based on the registry) a route header is added and the message finds the proper way to the device.

Path header support exists in the path module in Kamailio if you want to test.

Looking forward to your feedback!
