[asterisk-dev] PJSIP doesn't seem to process tokens with percent characters correctly

[Dan Cropp]

We have a SIP provider who sends an INVITE with a Branch header.
Everything is fine in most cases.  However, there are times they send a Branch header with a % character.
>From what I have been told, the header is a token, so it is acceptable to include the % character.


There seem to be two different issues with PJSIP processing of headers with the % character in tokenized fields.

Example.
branch=z9hG4bKf5s1psess0KGj0gRsgyJIBWEYL%QWIjkWmDXr8xnPVgaOBzOLSV28


In one case, it can receive the portion and process it, but when sending out the same token it changes it to lower case.  Example, received %8A portion, but sent %8a.  This means it's not a match for the token so the other side will not match.

It another case, seems PJSIP has another scenario where the % character is processed as the escaped character if it would be printable character.  Example, received %4C.  The send replaces that portion with upper case L
