Sipp truncates the Route header created by [routes]

[Florian Hackenberger]

Binary package hint: sip-tester

Many SIP providers use the Record-Route header of the sip protocol. The UAC is required to create the Route header accordingly. See 16.12.1.2 Traversing a Strict-Routing Proxy at http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc3261.txt The sipp keyword [routes] creates the Route header. See for example the following scenario snippet:

  <send>
    <![CDATA[

      ACK [next_url] SIP/2.0
      [last_Via:]
      From: sipp <sip:[field0]@[remote_ip]:[remote_port]>;tag=[pid]SIPpTag00[call_number]
      [last_To:]
      Call-ID: [call_id]
      CSeq: [cseq] ACK
      [routes]
      Max-Forwards: 70
      Subject: Performance Test
      Content-Length: 0

    ]]>
  </send>

The [routes] keyword should result in a header field like the following:
Route: <sip:217.10.79.9;lr=on;ftag=5415SIPpTag001>,<sip:172.20.40.1;lr=on>

The current version truncates the string (depending on it's length). The commit 239 from the Sipp svn [1] fixes this problem (the patch is a one liner).

A modified source package is attached.

Can I report this bug upstream automatically?

I attached the source code patch for the debian package.

Wouldn't it be better to have a complete upgrade to the latest sipp stable version?

As nobody seems to care about bugfix updates anyway, an upgrade to the 3.x series within the Jaunty release cycle will probably be the best option.
