Henning,
Thanks for the explanation. This does clear it up for me.
Do you happen to know if there is a list of pseudo vars that fall under the
non special case? (a list for those psedo vars where msg_apply_changes
needs to be called for the update to be reflected while in routing file
processing that is.)
Thanks,
Karthik

Some PV manipulations work that way, others don't. :-) "Because
Kamailio".
Don't want to dig into to much technical details here..
But to give a bit more context, the Kamailio architecture related to SIP
message processing is optimized to avoid re-parsing of the message during
configuration processing. This works with so called "lumps" which are more
or
less like a programming patch file (e.g. change, delete parts). This lumps
are
applied shortly before sending the message out or if you call
msg_apply_changes().
Some parts of the SIP message are accessed directly, because they are
"more
important" (like the request URI) are handled specially, some like the
From
user are done like a normal SIP header part as described above.
For a bit more details and to look into the details, have a look to the
dbg_sip_msg([log_level], [facility]) function in the debugger module.
Best regards,
Henning
