Hello,

The invite is relayed from OpenSIPS to Asterisk. Asterisk has UAS role here.
The data i'm hoping to transfer to OPENSIPS should be sent either with the 200 
OK (Asterisk to OpenSIPS), during the call, or via BYE.
So neither PJSIP_HEADER nor PJSIP_RESPONSE_HEADER can help with my usecase.
I have already used  pjsip session refresh to renegotiate media codecs during a 
call, but i've never tried adding an extraheader to the re-invite/update method.
I will try this asap, thank you for the detailed answer.

You can send custom headers from Asterisk to OpenSIPS using:

https://wiki.asterisk.org/wiki/display/AST/Asterisk+18+Function_PJSIP_HEADER

If you need Asterisk to receive customer headers from OpenSIPS, you can read 
custom headers added by OpenSIPS to its 200 response using:

https://wiki.asterisk.org/wiki/display/AST/Asterisk+18+Function_PJSIP_RESPONSE_HEADER


If you are already midway through a call, you can force an UPDATE or re-INVITE 
using:

https://wiki.asterisk.org/wiki/display/AST/Asterisk+18+Function_PJSIP_SEND_SESSION_REFRESH


While I haven't personally tested, I'd expect that you should be able to signal 
custom information midway through a call with a 
Set(PJSIP_HEADER(add,X-MyHeader)=myvalue) followed by a 
Set(PJSIP_SEND_SESSION_REFRESH()=invite). This should then trigger a re-INVITE 
carrying the new X-MyHeader within it.

Similarly, after triggering the a re-INVITE or UPDATE, you should then be able 
to do a Set(MYVAR=PJSIP_RESPONSE_HEADER(read,X-MyHeader)) to extract what 
OpenSIPS has sent back to Asterisk in its 200 response.


Although more messy, there are also other tricks that you can use, including 
the CONNECTEDLINE function:

https://wiki.asterisk.org/wiki/display/AST/Manipulating+Party+ID+Information

https://wiki.asterisk.org/wiki/display/AST/Asterisk+18+Function_CONNECTEDLINE

e.g. If you did a 
Set(CONNECTEDLINE(name)=Information_I_wish_to_share_with_OpenSIPS), then this 
will, in one step, trigger an UPDATE or re-INVITE carrying the new connected 
party name in the SIP headers, detail which you can then extract from OpenSIPS. 
Similarly, you can also use this approach read information that OpenSIPS has 
sent to Asterisk, with a Set(MYVAR=CONNECTEDLINE(name)).

I mention this in case, for whatever reason, the first approach (described 
above) doesn't work as planned, however, the first approach is definitely 
preferable as you can carry the information in your own X- header, making it 
far easier to send/receive multiple headers.
