[OpenSIPS-Users] PAID not in resent INVITE from Failure Block

[Răzvan Crainea]

Hi, Richard!

When a transaction is created, either by t_newtran(), either by using a 
function that internally creates it, the request message, along with its 
changes are stored/cloned in the transaction. When failure_route is run, 
you are actually seeing the message stored in the transaction. This 
essentially means that if the headers had been added *after* the 
transaction was created, you will not be able to access them in failure 
route.
Of course, Ben is right as well - if you are adding the headers in the 
branch route, you will not see them in a different branch. And half of 
the reason is similar to the one above: when the transaction is created 
(i.e. by t_relay()), the request message is cloned in transaction, then 
branch routes are executed. Whatever change you make per branch, they 
are stored in each branch's structure (not in the message itself). 
Hence, when the failure route is executed, you will get the message 
cloned when the transaction was created (before branch routes are even 
executed).
Hope this helps you identify missing headers in failure route :)
