Re: Error "security check failed: NULL To Header" when running siproxd

Hi,

I', currently in vacation, so just a few short comments, see below:

Why do you redirect incoming ports? By redirecting them you "steal" them
from siproxd, so they can not be processed. This will not work properly.
As shown in
<http://siproxd.sourceforge.net/siproxd_guide/siproxd_guide_c6s5.html>,
OUTGOING traffic must be passed via siproxd, the incoming traffic is
directed to siproxd and MUST be processed by siproxd. It then will be
sent (by siproxd) to the internal UAs.
The only firewall rules for INCOMING traffic are to ALLOW the incoming
traffic to siproxd.

This error indicates that the parsed SIP message (osip_message_t
structure) has no valid To header (NULL). At least the host part must be
present.
   ...snip...
   /* check for existing To: header */
   if ((sip->to==NULL)||
       (sip->to->url==NULL)||(sip->to->url->host==NULL)) {
      ERROR("security check failed: NULL To Header");
      return STS_FAILURE;
   }
   ...snip...

It would be very interesting if you could edit the file security.c and
put additional debug output in to see what actually is contained in this
structure. It *might* even be a libosip2 error (I'm not yet going to
blame anyone, but these checks are made right after libosip2 did parse
the received message - and if there is NULL...)

This host_allow_sip line wil prohibit ANYONE not in the 192.168.1.x net
to send anything to siproxd. Does not really make sense (you want to
receive SIP packets from the Internet, I assume?). Comment this out.
