Re: [reSIProcate] [reSIProcate-users] Expires field in INVITE	request
Hi Byron,
I think use of this feature is generally a bad idea and I would push  
for it to be deprecated in a future version of the standard.  An  
application that is interested in setting this header would be better  
off setting an application-level timer and canceling the request.
If a UAS that receives this request ignores the Expires header,  
nothing bad really happens.  If the UAS sends a 2xx to the request,  
the UAC should have code to just send a BYE.
thanks,

configurable so repro wouldn't act on it; forwarding an INVITE with  
an Expires shouldn't trigger timers and such, since that's the  
UAC's job)
        Anyone have a strong opinion on this?

According to RFC 3261
   The UAC MAY add an Expires header field (Section 20.19) to  
limit the
   validity of the invitation.  If the time indicated in the Expires
   header field is reached and no final answer for the INVITE has  
been
   received, the UAC core SHOULD generate a CANCEL request for the
   INVITE, as per Section 9.
As I far as I know resiprocate does not  implement this behavior  
so I have made changes to the library. So I added one more timer -  
InviteExpires(see DumTimeout.hxx) that acts similar to StaleCall  
timer.
I think that modifying library is not a good idea so, is there any  
other way to limit call duration while it has not received final  
answer? If no can you give any feedback on changes I have made  
especially on possible incorrect interaction with existing  
resiprocate code. I'm using resiprocate of version 1.1
Thanks in advance.
