[reSIProcate] Question on Accept Header Validiation...

[Scott Godin <slgodin@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Guys,

 

I'm starting to try the Sip Forum Test Framework SFTF (http://www.sipfoundry.org/sftf/index.html) against reSIP/DUM.  I'll post my results shortly, but I have a quick question:

 

Test case 216 describes that a Server is supposed to deny a request with an unknown body type in the Accept header field. 

 

This just doesn't seem quite right to me.  If a UAC advertises that it accepts a certain body type - why would a UAS reject the request just because it doesn't support that body type?  I can't find a definitive RFC reference to support this behviour.

 

If there is a consensus that this IS a valid test case - I'll be sure to add this check into the DUM validateRequest code (currently commented out).

 

Any thoughts?

 

Thanks,

 

Scott
