Greetings,
An OpenSER REQUEST-ROUTE that statefully t_relay()s an INVITE request
will automatically pass back a provisional "100 Trying" response to the
sender.
The problem I have is that I have a database operation that occurs in my
main REQUEST-ROUTE that can potentially, under certain unfavourable
circumstances, be somewhat latent. This operation must run before the
relaying can occur, since its results are used to rewrite the RURI, etc.
When the operation lags, sometimes it exhausts the T-timers and results
in retransmission of the INVITE, or, for equipment configured in a
particularly conservative way, even a failure.
So, what I need is some way to pass a provisional "100 Trying" at the
beginning of the REQUEST-ROUTE immediately in order to placate the sender.
I can't just reply statelessly, because I need the stateful processing
for other things related to call accounting, so I must use 'tm.' And if
I send a stateless "100 Trying" reply, the subsequent t_relay() will not
know that and duplicate it, and although as far as I know this does not
violate the RFC, it is still a situation I would like to avoid in principle.
What I need to know is if there is some way in 'tm' to disable automatic
provisional responses in a temporary or ephemeral fashion, or else to
disable them entirely and then re-enable them later.
Thank you so much in advance for all of your help!
