Thanks for posting the patch here. For those who have not read the bugreport, I'll summarize my problems with this patch:

When dealing with peers, some should be allowed to see private/prohibited CLI's (CLIR) and some shouldn't -- sip2pstn links usually should and endusers usually shouldn't. I call these trusted and untrusted, but someone may have a better term form them.

Current behaviour in Asterisk is as follows:
 - sendrpid=no => the peer does *not* get CLIR
 - sendrpid=yes/rpid => the peer *does* get CLIR (with privacy=full tag)
 - sendrpid=pai => the peer does *not* get CLIR (but Anonymous at ...)

Yes, that is inconsistent, but that is the current situation.


What is good about this patch:

- The Privacy header is sent properly. However, IMO, this is only useful for these so-called 'trusted' peers.

- There is now a difference between trust levels.


My problems with this patch:

- It breaks backwards compatibility: sendrpid=pai will show CLIR to anyone.

- There is no way to disable sending of CLIR. When we don't trust the peer, the PAI should not get sent.
  Now, all it does is set From to Anonymous, but still send the CLIR.
   http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3325#section-10.2 
   """The next proxy removes the P-Asserted-Identity
   header field and the request for Privacy before forwarding this
   request onward to the biloxi.com proxy server which it does not
   trust."""

- The same goes for RPID, but there CLIR to untrusted peers should probably behave as PAI does now: set Anonymous@ in the header.


I like this fix, but it needs some tweaking IMO.
