Sip Header

 REST API Version 2.0 only.

Describes a SIP header. SIP headers can be sent by a connect or an answer action. If the service has been configured to report received SIP headers, any matching SIP headers will be included in the call info.

Used in class call info.

Used by actions answer and connect.

Only non-standard SIP headers should be sent. Sending standard SIP headers will usually cause the call to fail.

The handling of non-standard SIP headers is dependent on the entities the SIP messages pass through, such as proxies and back-to-back user agents, and the receiving SIP endpoint. It is recommended that only a single header of each name is sent and that all names are prefixed with "X-". This will increase the likelyhood of the headers reaching the intended target.

class SIPHeader

A class representing a SIP Header.

Class synopsis:

// Constructors:
public SIPHeader(String name, String value)

// Members:
public String getName()
public String getValue()

Examples:

Add an extra SIP header to an answer action:
Answer answerAction = new Answer();
answerAction.addExtraSIPHeader(new SIPHeader("X-AccountInfo", "abc-123456789"));

To send extra SIP headers, use the Answer.add_extra_sip_header() and Connect.add_extra_sip_header() instance methods.

Received SIP headers are found in the Call Info dictionary, accessed using the received_sip_headers key. The received_sip_headers value is a list of dictionaries. Each dictionary contains a name and value key, representing a SIP header.

Examples:

Add an extra SIP header to an answer action:
answer_action = Answer()
answer_action.add_extra_sip_header("X-AccountInfo", "abc-123456789")

This functionality is provided by a function calls on various objects.

To send extra SIP headers, add them using addExtraSIPHeader() calls.
Received SIP header values are returned by calling getReceivedSIPHeader() on CallInfo objects.

Examples:

Add an extra SIP header to an answer action
$answer = new \Aculab\TelephonyRestAPI\Answer();
$answer->addExtraSIPHeader("X-AccountInfo", "abc-123456789");
