[OpenSIPS-Users] Route Header removal

Hey Louis,

I thought I might jump in here about your point (2).  If you are 
referring to preloaded Route header(s) in the initial request, then you 
just need to take care when calling the loose_route [1] method. If you 
don't trust, or want to disregard, any preloaded Routes then don't call 
loose_route and remove the header via remove_hf to prevent downstream 
proxies from potentially mis-routing the request.  There are cases when 
you may want to allow loose routing of preloaded sets, such as in the 
case of a mid-registrar with Path support [2].

[1] https://opensips.org/html/docs/modules/devel/rr.html#func_loose_route
[2] https://opensips.org/html/docs/modules/devel/path.html

_Example:_
route {
     ...
     #sequential routing
     ...
     #process preloaded routes
     if (is_present_hf("Route")) {
             if (...) { # honor routes
                     loose_route();
                     t_relay();
                     exit;
             } else {   # don't process and strip routes
                     remove_hf("Route");
             }
     }
     ...
}


Thanks,
John Burke

This means that whatever change you perform to the message will not be visible by the functions used - this is the intended behavior.
