Make captagent filter on headers

[lcx]

Sorry to open a github issue, not really sure where else to go with this.

I'm trying to figure out how header_regexp_match and header_check work.
My plan is to have a captagent running on a freeswitch but depending on the sip headers to send it to a different homer.
I have two profiles in my transport_hep.xml and if I want to do that based on the IP it works as expected:

                if (msg_check("any_ip", "127.0.0.1")) {
                    if(!send_hep("homer2")) {
                        clog("ERROR", "Error sending HEP!!!!");
                    }
                }

The IP is of course not 127.0.0.1 but this will send the traffic coming from the configured IP to the specified homer.
So far so good.

Now let's say I have this invite:

Max-Forwards: 70
User-Agent: snomD785/10.1.84.12
Contact: <sip:[email protected]:49431;transport=Tcp;line=dw1ctvar>;reg-id=1
X-Serialnumber: 000413924E28
Accept: application/sdp
Allow: INVITE, ACK, CANCEL, BYE, REFER, OPTIONS, NOTIFY, SUBSCRIBE, PRACK, MESSAGE, INFO, UPDATE

and I would want to make it match with the header X-Serialnumber: 000413924E28 how would I do that?

Also while writing this I realized that would lose me a lot of packages because the responses don't have that header, as a learning opportunity I would still be very curious. Read the C code, read the PDF's from workshops I found and couldn't figure it out.

Would there be a better way to accomplish this madness I am trying? As soon as an Invite has a specific value in a header that it marks any packages + responses to be sent to a specific homer?
Captagent would be the preferred option since I have some asterisk in the whole thing and not only freeswitch.

You could try using customHeader for this purpose but in homer there's no transaction tracking (unlike hepic) so you would have to choose a method with 100% consistency uniquely based on the header contents to get requests and responses, etc.

I meanwhile know that I can't use this for what I intended but still am curious how to use it. So far I tried this without success:

                if (header_check("custom","Serialnumber")) {
                    clog("ERROR", "Bingo! Got a header!");
                }
                if (header_check("custom","X-Serialnumber")) {
                    clog("ERROR", "Bingo! Got a header!");
                }
                if (header_check("User-Agent","snomD785/10.1.84.12")) {
                    clog("ERROR", "Bingo! Got a UserAgent!");
                }
                if (header_regexp_match("body",".+erialnumber.*")) {
                    clog("ERROR", "Bingo! Got a header!");
                }
                if (header_regexp_match("body","000413924E28")) {
                    clog("ERROR", "Bingo! Got a header!");
                }
                if (header_regexp_match("custom","000413924E28")) {
                    clog("ERROR", "Bingo! Got a header!");
                }

Should I have use customHeader instead of custom?
like this:

                if (header_check("customHeader","X-Serialnumber")) {
                    clog("ERROR", "Bingo! Got a header!");
                }
