Hi Anders,
Thanks for your quick response. But I still don't get why the DH is being
interpreted as a list of Destination-Host values ( Is it because the define
"avp_arity('CCR', 'Destination-Host') -> {0, 1};").
And if it is treated as a list, how come it has a length greater than 1, I
just set it once in prepare_request.
What should I do to correct it? Or which document should I read more
carefully to understand this properly?
Thanks a lot!
Samuel
