[reSIProcate] Question on Accept Header Validiation...

[Scott Godin]

Hi Guys,
 
I'm starting to try the Sip Forum Test Framework SFTF
(http://www.sipfoundry.org/sftf/index.html
<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
