Peter,<br> Appreciate your detailed response. The client we are using is compliant with the GSM RCS spec and the xml (including the use of external anchors) comes straight from the specs. Are you aware of any RLS capable clients that doesn't use external anchors but comply with the RCS specifications for presence? We've used Jitsi - but that doesn't seem to support rls. <br>
<br>Your description below got me thinking on how the back end subscribes would get routed. Since the code would find the clients own entry in the resource-list (see below) it initiates a back-end subscribe to it - and when it was coming to my routing logic in the config file since it was a subscribe with a supported "eventlist" header - it was calling rls_handle_subscribe again causing the looping issue. So the way I resolved that was by adding the following code in my routing logic:<br>
<br><pre> <list name="rcs">
<display-name>All Contacts</display-name>
<external anchor="<a href="http://10.50.251.13:5060/xcap-root/resource-lists/users/sip:8475551001@ip/index/%7E%7E/resource-lists/list%5B@name=%22doubango%22%5D" target="_blank">http://10.50.251.13:5060/xcap-root/resource-lists/users/sip:8475551001@ip/index/~~/resource-lists/list%5B@name=%22doubango%22%5D</a>"
/>
<entry uri="<a>sip:8475551001@ip</a>" />
</list></pre><br><br> if( is_method("SUBSCRIBE"))<br> {<br> #xdbg("======== Handling subscribe request ==== \n");<br> if ($hdr("User-Agent") =~"IM-client")<br>
{<br> $var(ret_code) = rls_handle_subscribe();<br> #xdbg("========= RLS Handle subscriber returned with ret code: $var(ret_code) ===\n");<br> if ($var(ret_code) == 10)<br>
{<br> xdbg("======== Calling Handle subscribe ===== \n");<br> handle_subscribe();<br> }<br> }<br> else<br>
{<br> handle_subscribe();<br> }<br> t_release();<br> }<br><br>This seems to resolve the looping issue. However, now I don't see an entry for the dialog in the rls_watchers table. I see the following entries in the respective tables:<br>
<ul><li>One presentity in the presentity table - <b>Yes</b><br></li><li>One presence.winfo dialog in the active_watchers table- <b>Yes</b> <b>+ 1 presence entry </b><br></li><li>One presence dialog in the rls_watchers table- <b>No entries after the change</b><br>
</li><li>One presence dialog for each <entry /> in the resource-list in the pua table- <b>Yes</b> (just itself for now)<br></li><li>One presence dialog for each <entry /> in the resource-list in the active_watchers table- <b>Yes (just itself for now)</b><br>
</li><li>One entry in the watchers table for each watcher/presentity
relationship indicating state (active, pending, terminated, etc) -
these are the cached (to avoid the overhead of continually re-parsing
the same XML document) results of the presence module processing
pres-rules for each presence subscription- <b>Yes (just itself for now)</b><br></li></ul><br>I am pretty sure if I add a contact this is not going to work because of the external anchors. But not sure why an entry is not getting added to the rls_watchers table after my change. I would think it should get added for the initial subscribe from the client. <br>
<br><br><br>Again appreciate you taking the time to respond. Is there any plan to add support for external anchors in the new future? <br><br>Thanks,<br>Sangeeta<br>

Hi,<br>
<br>
External anchors are not currently supported by the Kamailio RLS module. The presence of these do not explain all of the symptoms you are seeing - but you are not going to be able to get your resource-lists working properly if they are in there - at best these will be ignored, at worst they will cause errors.<br>
<br>
For each <entry /> in your resource list the RLS module will create a back-end subscription (using the PUA module) to a Presence Server. When using Kamailio it is often the case that this Presence Server is actually the Kamailio presence module running on the same instance of Kamailio as RLS and PUA - but even in this case Kamailio will create and send a real SUBSCRIBE request (it'll just loop to itself).<br>
<br>
After logging in with an RLS capable client you should end up with the following:
<ul>
<li>One presentity in the presentity table
</li><li>One presence.winfo dialog in the active_watchers table
</li><li>One presence dialog in the rls_watchers table
</li><li>One presence dialog for each <entry /> in the resource-list in the pua table
</li><li>One presence dialog for each <entry /> in the resource-list in the active_watchers table
</li><li>One entry in the watchers table for each watcher/presentity relationship indicating state (active, pending, terminated, etc) - these are the cached (to avoid the overhead of continually re-parsing the same XML document) results of the presence module processing pres-rules for each presence subscription
</li></ul>
The rls_presentity table will be empty until you have multiple clients signed in concurrently and are sharing presence between them.<br>
<br>
Regards,<br>
<br>

<pre>Hugh,
Thanks for the response.
When the client subscribes to the presence.winfo event - it does
result in an entry in the active_watchers table.
Then it is sending a subscribe to the presence event with the
supported header set to "eventlist"
Also I am starting from an empty database. So as you said, the client
is getting a 404 back and then putting the pres-rules, rls-services,
and resource-lists documents. The client that is connecting has no
contacts. All 3 documents have external anchors which I unfortunately
cannot disable :(
So the resource-list XML is as follows:

I am not sure if it's the nature of the resource-list document or
something in the config file that's causing this loop. I am guessing
it might be the following entry:
<list name="rcs">
<display-name>All Contacts</display-name>
<external anchor="<a href="http://10.50.251.13:5060/xcap-root/resource-lists/users/sip:8475551001@ip/index/~~/resource-lists/list%5B@name=%22doubango%22%5D" target="_blank">http://10.50.251.13:5060/xcap-root/resource-lists/users/sip:8475551001@ip/index/~~/resource-lists/list%5B@name=%22doubango%22%5D</a>"
/>
<entry uri="<a>sip:8475551001@ip</a>" />
</list>
But why would all these subscribes go back to the server? Should I be
handling them in the routing code in the config file. They all have
unique to tags/from tags/and call ids.
I am willing to modify the code with some direction on how to better
handle this.
Thanks,
Sangeeta
