RE: [Sip] RequestUri to Host Matching and proxy servers

["Sean Olson" <seancolson@yahoo.com>]

There are several applications that fit this description. An outbound
proxy is just one of them.
I think the text you propose for this setting is fine. I would also be
fine with making this a UA only
setting.

my two cents,

Subject: [Sip] RequestUri to Host Matching and proxy servers


Updating the sip mib ID with Kevin & Kavitha, we have a quick question
re: Request-URI and host matching for proxy servers.  Is there any
application where not requiring request-uri host matching makes sense
for a proxy? We thought about the outbound proxy case where requests are
usually targetted for external proxies, therefore request-uri to host
matching may potentially not be the default action.

We have a sipRequestUriHostMatching mib object (true/false value) that
is currently applicable to UAs and proxies and we're wondering whether
to keep it as a common configuration object or move it to the UA config
section of the mib.

Additionally, if request-URI to host matching is enforced, is it ok for
the object description to state something like: "If the value of this
object is 'true', then the server requires a match, and if the
RequestURI doesn't match the server's host name, a Location Service may
be used to obtain information about a callee's possible location(s) or a
404 Not Found status code is returned by the server."

Thanks,
Jean-Francois.
