I am receiving a call with a Contact: that contains <sip:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:5060;tgrp="sometext">

OpenSer parses this fine and sends it to the correct SIP endpoint. That SIP endpoint, which is not open source, then issues an INVITE to OpenSer and sets the From: header to the origianl Contact: above. OpenSer then complains with this message:

6(11704) ERROR: parse_to : unexpected char ["] in status 5: <<<sip:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:5060;tgrp=>> .
6(11704) ERROR:parse_from_header: bad from header

My question is, is it valid to have ;tgrp="sometext" in the <....> section of a URI, and is it also valid to have a " in a uri. Reading through the RFC's, it is not listed as reserved so my initial thought is the OpenSer should allow it in the From: header, in the URI.

Thanks,
 Derek

Sorry this info comes so late. Work has been horribly busy and I've had no time to read my user list emails :(. We (at my VoIP company) have been using SER for a few years now and I've seen SIP URIs that look like the one you show here. The ' " ' can be a real pain to deal with in our home grown Python based billing system, but we haven't had serious issues from it. I don't know of anything in the SIP RFC that says you can't use the ' " ' as well. In fact we use a Session Border Controller that garbles the URI for security reasons, and we can end up with all kinds of strange symbols in the alias of the URI (' io23-85"72hbn*"@<someIP>'. So I don't see why OpenSER should complain. We are planning to move to OpenSER soon. I guess I'll have to watch for the issue you mentioned here.
