But I've got a new one for you -- or rather an old one, since I caught this one already:
/* one message, not two */
char *sip_in_sip[] = {
"INVITE sip:a@b.c SIP/2.0\r\n"
"c:sip-in-sip :P\r\n" /* Content-Type */
"l:47\r\n" /* Content-Length */
"\r\n"
"INVITE sip:b@b.c SIP/2.0\r\n"
"Content-Length: 0\r\n"
"\r\n"
}
^-- your updated version still finds Content-Length: 0 in favor of l:47, even though it should only search the header-part.</pre>

<pre style="white-space: pre-wrap; white-space: -moz-pre-wrap; white-space: -pre-wrap; white-space: -o-pre-wrap; word-wrap: break-word;">Ah good catch. In your previous example, I honed in so much on the fact that I didn't match on the compact form of Content-Length that I didn't even notice that you had also put a Contact-Length in the body. I'll get that fixed up.</pre>

<pre style="margin: 0; padding: 0; white-space: pre-wrap; white-space: -moz-pre-wrap; white-space: -pre-wrap; white-space: -o-pre-wrap; word-wrap: break-word;">The reporter of issue ASTERISK-20213 had an issue where Asterisk would lock up after being used for a few days. When looking at backtraces, it was apparent that the problematic thread was the SIP TCP thread. It was blocked in a call to fgets(). This blocked thread was holding a lock that the SIP monitor thread was trying to lock. Once the SIP monitor thread was stuck trying to grab the lock, it meant that no SIP traffic could be received.
While the reason why the fgets() call blocked was not ever made explicitly clear, it certainly seemed odd that a successful poll() would result in an fgets() that would block forever. The obvious oddness was that we were polling on a file descriptor but then trying to read from a corresponding FILE handle. This, in the general opinion of everyone, is "stupid". I supplied a patch to the reporter that uses recv() instead of fgets() for TCP SIP connections, hoping this would work.
As it turns out, the patch has been in use for over three weeks with no issues, so it appears to be a good fix. The patch specifically targets TCP connections and not TLS. TLS connections were not reported as having the issue, plus changing TLS would be a much more invasive operation.
In my opinion, we should remove the use of FILE handles altogether in the TCP/TLS code, but such a task would be better suited for Asterisk trunk instead of a released version. For now, fixing the problems as they are reported is the best option.
Note that the reporter reported his issue against Asterisk 10 but this review is made against Asterisk 1.8. This is because the same method of retrieving TCP data is used in 1.8 so I believe the issue must exist there as well.
While viewing my changes, pay particular attention to the TLS code to ensure I did not introduce any subtle logic changes. The sip_tls_read() function is pretty much a copy and paste of the code that existed before, so I am hopeful that I have not introduced anything undesirable there.</pre>
