Thread: Bug in RFC3261: Proxy-Require not allowed in ACK




Bug in RFC3261: Proxy-Require not allowed in ACK

Mike,

Yes, obviously the same "Proxy-Require: privacy"
and "Privacy: header" would 
need to be present in the INVITE. For this to work properly,
any proxy that 
accepts a Proxy-Require in an INVITE MUST Record-Route, else
the ACK would 
end up some place else and the scenario you describe would
occur.

For example, RFC3329 could be more explicit on this (section
4.1 message 4). 
I believe an update was being worked on?

Regards,
Jeroen

Maybe I misread it, but my impression was that he was adding
something,
thus not a subset, thus the potential for the ACK to not
reach as far as
the INVITE did.
