[SIPForum-discussion] What should proxies respond to OPTIONS ?

[Tomasz Zieleniewski]

Hi,

As it is written "SHOULD" doesn't imply "MUST"
generally proxy is method agnostic but in case when your proxy
acts as registrar and subscription server (in other words as UAS)
then it can respond with response containing Allow header with values
like REGISTER, SUBSCRIBE, OPTIONS and etc.

Kind regards
