SIP Header Addition Functions

All of the functions that are described in this section, with the exception of the sip_add_param() function, take the SIP message as the first argument. These functions also take header specific attributes as arguments.

int sip_add_header(sip_msg_t sip_msg, char *header_string);

The sip_add_header() function takes a SIP header string as the second argument and appends it to the SIP message. This function creates the SIP header by appending a CRLF to the value provided in the header_string parameter, then adding it to the end of the SIP message.

sip_header_t sip_add_param(sip_header_t sip_header, char *param, int *error);

The sip_add_param() function adds the value in the param parameter to the SIP header in the first argument. The value of the param parameter cannot be null. The function returns the header with the parameter added.


Note - Adding a parameter with this function creates a new header and marks the previous header as deleted. Developers working on multi-threaded applications should monitor headers that are being modified by multiple threads simultaneously.


All of the following header adding functions add a CRLF to the header before adding the header to the SIP message.

int sip_add_from(sip_msg_t sip_msg, char *display_name, char *from_uri, char *from_tag, boolean_t add_aquot, char *from_param);

The sip_add_from() function appends a FROM header to a SIP message. This function creates the header using the display_name, from_uri and from_tag parameters. The calling thread must provide the URI in the from_uri parameter. If the calling thread provides the value of the display_name parameter, the value of the add_aquot parameter must be B_TRUE. This value of the add_aquot parameter encloses URI within the delimiting characters < and >. If the display_name parameter has a value, this function quotes that name within " characters and adds the quoted name to the header. If the values in the from_tag parameter are NULL, the resulting SIP header does not contain a TAG parameter. You can specify any generic parameter in a from_param parameter.


Note - Only one of the pair of parameters from_tag or from_param can have a non-NULL value. If both parameters have non-NULL values, the resulting FROM header contains only the TAG parameter.


int sip_add_to(sip_msg_t sip_msg, char *display_name, char *to_uri, char *to_tag, boolean_t add_aquot, char *to_param);

The sip_add_to() function appends a TO header to a SIP message. This function creates the header using the display_name, to_uri and to_tag parameters. The calling thread must provide the URI in the to_uri parameter. If the calling thread provides the value of the display_name parameter, the value of the add_aquot parameter must be B_TRUE. This value of the add_aquot parameter encloses the URI within the delimiting characters < and >. If the display_name parameter has a value, this function quotes that name within " characters and adds the quoted name to the header. If the values in the to_tag parameter are NULL, the resulting SIP header does not contain a TAG parameter. You can specify any generic parameter in a to_param parameter.


Note - Only one of the pair of parameters to_tag or to_param can have a non-NULL value. If both parameters have non-NULL values, the resulting TO header contains only the TAG parameter.


int sip_add_contact(sip_msg_t sip_msg, char *display_name, char *contact_uri, boolean_t add_aquot, char *contact_param);

The sip_add_contact() function appends a CONTACT header to a SIP message. This function creates the header using the display_name and contact_uri parameters. The calling thread must provide the URI in the contact_uri parameter. If the calling thread provides the value of the display_name parameter, the value of the add_aquot parameter must be B_TRUE. This value of the add_aquot parameter encloses the URI within the delimiting characters < and >. If the display_name parameter has a value, this function quotes that name within " characters and adds the quoted name to the header. You can specify any generic parameter in a contact_param parameter.

int sip_add_via(sip_msg_t sip_msg, char *protocol_transport, char *sent_by_host, int sent_by_port, char *via_params);

The sip_add_via() function appends a VIA header to the SIP message that is specified by the value of the sip_msg parameter. The VIA header has the transport protocol that is specified in the protocol_transport parameter. The VIA header has the IP address or hostname that is specified by the sent_by_host parameter. The VIA header has the port that is specified in the sent_by_port parameter. If the sent_by_port parameter has a value of zero, the resulting VIA header does not have any port information. The VIA header's protocol is set to SIP and the version is set to 2.0. Specify any header-specific parameters in the via_params parameter. For example, you can specify the branch parameter in the via_params parameter with the string "branch=x9hG4b-mybranchid".

int sip_add_branchid_to_via(sip_msg_t sip_msg, char *branchid);

The sip_add_branchid_to_via() function adds a branch parameter to the topmost VIA header in the SIP message. The branch parameter cannot already exist in the VIA header.


Note - Adding a parameter with this function creates a new header and marks the previous header as deleted. Developers working on multi-threaded applications should monitor headers that are being modified by multiple threads simultaneously.


int sip_add_maxforward(sip_msg_t sip_msg, uint_t maxforward);

The sip_add_maxforward() function appends a Max-Forwards header. The value of the header is equal to the value of the maxforward parameter.

int sip_add_callid(sip_msg_t sip_msg, char *callid);

The sip_add_callid() function appends a Call-ID header to the SIP message by using the value of the callid parameter. If the callid parameter has a value of NULL, the sip_add_callid() function generates a random value for the Call-ID header.

int sip_add_accept(sip_msg_t sip_msg, char *type, char *subtype, char *mparams, char *params);

The sip_add_accept() function adds an Accept header using the values of the type and subtype parameters. If the values of the type and subtype parameters are NULL, the function adds an empty Accept header.

The value of the subtype parameter for this header is equal to *. You can provide media and accept parameters by passing them as the mparams and params arguments.
