Since on the topic of tsilo:
1. I watched Federico’s presentation on it from 2015, and his examples
insinuate that it is necessary to store the index and label of a suspended
transaction in some external vehicle, e.g. htable, for use with
ts_append_to(). Why would one do this when it is possible to call
ts_append() based on R-URI alone?
I don't remember why exactly I used t_append_to in the presentation's
example, probably because at the time the http_async_client module didn't
exist and tsilo was used in conjunction with t_suspend/t_resume (which
needs the transaction's index and label). Definitely ts_append() could have
been used.
2. The appropriate pattern of interaction between
tsilo and
http_async_client — which I imagine to be a rather common use-case — is
rather unclear.
If I use http_async_query() to call out to a PN service, with
$http_req(suspend) = 1, what should happen to the current instance of SIP
request processing?
That is to say:
request_route {
. . .
t_check_trans();
if(is_method(“REGISTER”)) {
. . .
save(“location”, “0x06”);
if(ts_append(“location”, “$tu”)) {
xlog(“success”);
}
return;
}
else if(is_method(“INVITE”)) {
# PN stuff.
ts_store(“$var(uri)”);
http_async_query(“http://url”, “PUSH_REPLY”);
return; # <— ???
}
}
route[HTTP_PUSH_REPLY] {
. . .
if(!t_relay())
sl_reply_error();
}
I'm not sure I understand the question here :)
The transaction will be suspended (so the return won't be hit) and would be
resumed in the http reply route.

Again, I'm not sure to fully understand the scenario here but wouldn't
calling ts_store("$tu") and then ts_append("location",
"$tu") work for you?
Cheers,
