[OpenSIPS-Devel] [OpenSIPS-Users] NEW: Changes in NATHELPER module

[Ovidiu Sas]

Hello Razvan,

Splitting the nathelper module is the right thing to do.  Thank you
for taking care of it.
With respect to the mangler module, there are still a few functions
that are useful: the encode/decode contact header.
Will you move these functions into an existing module?

Regards,
Ovidiu Sas
