B2BUA Custom From Header about drachtio-srf HOT 7 CLOSED

yes, opts.headers should be the correct approach. I think the issue was that originally some of the core sip headers like 'From' I was not letting you modify, over time I relaxed this but it seems like perhaps I did not allow this for the From header. I will look into this. Meanwhile, can you verify the version of drachtio-server you are running (drachtio -v)?

Would be awesome to allow that functionality for the From header. Pretty important for my use case. The server is using drachtio-server:latest from docker-hub, so should be 4.4.14.

Thanks for your help!

ok in my testing, it does look like I have a bug. Also, there is a workaround which I think should work for you. In opts.headers instead of naming the property From name it from (lower-case).

i.e. this worked in my testing:

      const {uas, uac} = await srf.createB2BUA(req, res, config.get('dest'), {
        headers: {
          from: 'myname <sip:foo@localhost>'
        }
      });

The 'localhost' will be replaced with the local IP that drachtio is listening on.

Please let me know if this works for you. Meanwhile I will check in a fix so that 'From' works as well..

ok I pushed [email protected] which should have the proper fix for this (either opts.From or opts.from should let you set a customized From header). It would be great if you can confirm this works in your application.

BTW, if all you wanted to do was set the user part of the From header on the outbound invite to something, another even simpler way to do that is:

const {uas, uac} = await srf.createB2BUA(req, res, config.get('dest'), {
         callingNumber: '+15083084809'
      });

But if you want to set the display name, etc, the use opts.headers.From. Again, unless you have a specific need to set the host part of that sip url to something, I'd suggest setting it to 'localhost' and letting the server substitute appropriately

can you confirm this works for you?

Yes works great! Thank you!
