3. Editing SIP Headers
Editing a SIP header means replacing the SIP header’s contents to a specified value or to add a SIP header or to delete a SIP header. If the specified SIP header field exists in the SIP packet, the contents of the SIP header will be replaced with a new value. If it doesn’t exist, the header field will be added to the SIP packet. If the setting value is empty (the text length is 0), the SIP header will be removed from the SIP packet.
By editing a specified SIP header, it is possible to block leaks of the caller’s information or to become interoperable with the call destination.

From = "Ted" <%1> $replaceuri = true |
Ex 2. Changing the Expires’s value to 200 if it is less than 200
| Matching Patterns | Deploy Patterns |
$request = ^INVITE Expires = ^[01][0-9].$ |
Expires = 200 |
Ex 3. Replacing the User-Agent’s value to contain “Beta” if it contains “Alpha”
| Matching Patterns | Deploy Patterns |
$request = ^INVITE User-Agent = (.*)Alpha(.*) |
User-Agent = %1Beta%2 |
