[OpenSIPS-Users] Transfer issue

Anca,

We've given in and started building a front-end/back-end opensips configuration.  The 'front end' will be based on our original script and perform the majority of the functions, the 'back end' being the B2BUA that will be involved starting at the initial invite.

Is there any possibility of getting a basic sample Opensips config to go along with the XML config for the B2BUA scenario?

Thanks,

Jeff K

Is there any way to modify the script scenario to -just- pick up from the REFER and still bridge in the first call leg?  It's OK if the answer is 'no', I just need to know what my options are.

I am sorry, but the answer is really no. The B2BUA must be in the middle 
of the call from the beginning.

>> So I believe I've done everything you've suggested?  The only thing that was a little strange is that when I compiled from the svn, I had to edit /parser/parse_fline.h.  I had found items such as INVITE_LEN in there, and my compiler complained that REFER_LEN, as well as several other variables, were undefined.  I modified this section of parse_fline.h to the following:
