How to send SIP MESSAGE using chan_extra-1.1.0

In asterisk-1.6.2.11/channels/chan_sip.c,the functionreceives SIP MESSAGE method messages and simply drops them.

And I didn't find a send_message function or any other similar things.
Here is my question, how can I send SIP MESSAGE method messages through chan_extra-1.1.0/asterisk-1.6.2.11?

Hi, Do you want to storage these kinds text messages to a file or just print them on the console?
Could you tell us what detail applications would you like ?

After receiving a SIP MESSAGE,I want to transmit it to other sip-clients like eyeBean.It's not complex to store these kinds of text messages to a file or print them on the console.In fact,chan_extra-1.1.0 has already print them on the asterisk CLI.The following code comes from function receive_message in chan_sip.cBut it's complex to send a SIP MESSAGE from chan_extra-1.1.0.chan_sip.c has some functions named transmit_* like transmit_invite, but getting involved with these functions is really a tough work.Can you give me some easy way to send SIP MESSAGE? Like I can send a SMS by simply executing the command "gsm send sms ..........."

Hello,

According to your requirements, we've downloaded a newer X-lite version which supports for sending instant messages. We placed X-lite as a client, and sent a string "Hello World!" from its text box to asterisk. Asterisk was able to receive the "Hello World!" and print it on the console. But there was no any response on the outside cell phone.

Based on that, we suppose the whole flow as below:


A_ {Client(X-lite)[chan_sip.c]}<

---

>B_ Asterisk<

---

>C_ G400P[chan_extra.c]<

---

>D_ Cell Phone.

According to out test, between stage A and B, no problem. Because we can saw their interactions.

But, it was stopped from B to C. Let alone stage D. Compare to the chan_sip.c, yes, chan_extra,c doesn't have enough functions to match all the SIP functions. It's a huge task.

What kinds of interfaces does your client could provide?

Sorry for replying you so late. Originally, I just want to get the SIP MESSAGE and transmit it to a SIP Client like X-lite(Or linphone or Eyebean). During these days, I have modified chan_sip.c and add some rough code into function receive_message to achieve my goal. The flow you gave above is not my original idea,but if you can bridge chan_sip.c and chan_extra.c,it will bevery exciting. If chan_sip.c and chan_extra.c are linked together, I think I can then try to make a funny application: A sends a SIP MESSAGE to B, if B is not online, then the message will be sent to B's cellphone as a SMS.

Maybe I used a wrong title.

Chan_extra doesn't handle sip protocol , but Asterisk does. So my question should be "How to send SIP MESSAGE using asterisk-1.6.2.11".
