You can use the parsing function to create the appropriate instance of the header, e.g. (pseudocode): pjsip_contact_hdr *hdr; char *hvalue = "<sip:user at host>"; hdr = pjsip_parse_hdr(tdata->pool, "Contact", hvalue, strlen(hvalue), NULL); if (hdr == NULL) // not valid header value Note that hvalue MUST be null terminated (i.e. the current doxygen comment/documentation is wrong as it doesn't mention this). cheers, -benny > Thanks, > Alex
