1. Overview
This module implements various utility functions that are not SIP
related.
Function http_query allows Kamailio to issue an HTTP GET request and
get access to parts of the reply.
The forward functionality allows Kamailio to configure forwarding at
runtime with FIFO commands. The forwarding is executed in the pre
script call back and therefore handled before the routing script is
executed on the current message. The callback is not installed on
default, thus this functionality has no runtime overhead when its
deactivated.
Function xcap_auth_status can be used to check from presence server
database, if watcher is authorized to subscribe event "presence" of
presentity.
2. Dependencies
2.1. Kamailio Modules
2.2. External Libraries or Applications
2.1. Kamailio Modules
The following modules must be loaded before this module:
* None.
2.2. External Libraries or Applications
The following libraries or applications must be installed before
running Kamailio with this module loaded:
* libcurl.
3. Exported Parameters
3.1. http_query_timeout (int)
3.2. forward_active (int)
3.3. pres_db_url (string)
3.4. xcap_table (string)
3.1. http_query_timeout (int)
Defines in seconds how long Kamailio waits response from HTTP server.
Default value is "4".
Example 1.1. Set http_query_timeout parameter
...
modparam("utils", "http_query_timeout", 2)
...
3.2. forward_active (int)
Defines if the forwarding callback should be installed.
Default value is "0".
Example 1.2. Set forward_active parameter
...
modparam("utils", "forward_active", 1)
...
3.3. pres_db_url (string)
Defines presence server database URL. If not given, xcap_auth_status
function is disabled.
There is no default value.
Example 1.3. Set pres_db_url parameter
...
modparam("utils", "pres_db_url", "mysql://foo:secret@localhost/pres")
...
3.4. xcap_table (string)
Defines name of xcap table in presence server database.
Default value is "xcap".
Example 1.4. Set xcap_table parameter
...
modparam("utils", "xcap_table", "pres_xcap")
...
4. Exported Functions
4.1. http_query(url, result)
4.2. xcap_auth_status(watcher_uri, presentity_uri)
4.1. http_query(url, result)
Sends HTTP GET request according to URL given in "url" parameter, which
is a string that may contain pseudo variables.
If HTTP server returns a class 2xx or 3xx reply, first line of reply's
body (if any) is stored in "result" parameter, which must be a writable
pseudo variable.
Function returns reply code of HTTP reply or -1 if something went
wrong.
This function can be used from REQUEST_ROUTE, ONREPLY_ROUTE,
FAILURE_ROUTE, and BRANCH_ROUTE.
Example 1.5. http_query() usage
...
http_query("http://tutpro.com/index.php?r_uri=$(ru{s.escape.param})&f_uri=$(fu{s
.escape.param})",
"$var(result)")
switch ($retcode) {
...
}
...
4.2. xcap_auth_status(watcher_uri, presentity_uri)
Function checks from presence server database if watcher is authorized
to subscribe event "presence" of presentity. Sphere checking is not
included.
Both watcher_uri and presentity_uri are pseudo variables. Function
returns ACTIVE_STATUS, if subscription is allowed and PENDING_STATUS,
TERMINATED_STATUS, or WAITING_STATUS otherwise. See
presence/subscribe.h for the corresponding integer codes. In case of
error, function returns -1.
Function can be used from REQUEST_ROUTE.
Example 1.6. xcap_auth_status() usage
...
if (method=="MESSAGE") {
xcap_auth_status("$fu", $ru");
if ($retcode == 1) {
t_relay();
} else {
send_reply("403", "Forbidden");
}
}
...
5. MI Commands
5.1. forward_list
5.2. forward_switch
5.3. forward_filter
5.4. forward_proxy
5.1. forward_list
List active forward rules.
No parameters.
Example 1.7. forward_list usage
...
kamctl fifo forward_list
id switch filter proxy
0 off REGISTER:INVITE:SUBSCRIBE host-a.domain-a:5060
...
5.2. forward_switch
This command can be used to activate or deactivate forwarding rules.
The syntax of this configuration string is described in 1.6.
(switch_setting_list).
Example 1.8. forward_switch usage
...
kamctl fifo sp_forward_switch 0=on
...
5.3. forward_filter
Can be used to specify the filter for a certain id. Messages will only
be forwarded if one of the filters matches the message.
There are special filters and regular filters. Special filters are:
* REQUEST (matches on every request)
* REPLY (matches on every reply)
Regular filters are arbitrary strings not containing the delimiter ':'.
They are matched against the request method names of the sip messages.
The syntax of this configuration string is described in 1.6.
(filter_setting_list).
Example 1.9. forward_filter usage
...
kamctl fifo sp_forward_filter 0=REGISTER:INVITE
...
5.4. forward_proxy
This command can be used to configure forwarding rules. Specifies the
destination for a certain id. Messages will be forwarded to this
destination if the preconditions hold (matching id, filter, and
switch). The syntax of this configuration string is described in 1.6.
(proxy_setting_list).
Example 1.10. forward_proxy usage
...
kamctl fifo sp_forward_proxy 0=host-c.domain-c:5060
...
