[OpenSIPS-Users] var/avp persistence, onreply_route, and script context

[Bobby Smith]

Sorry, there were a couple of typos in that:

 if (MY_VAR = "cisco") { >>>
<<< if (MY_VAR =~/== "cisco")

and assume onreply_route[foo] has a trigger armed (or is the default onreply
route).

I will post the context of my routing script if necessary but I really think
this is just a fundamental understanding problem that I don't quite get how
these mechanisms work.

Thanks,
BobbyS
