[SIPForum-discussion] Question about SUBSCRIBE method processing in proxy

[Tomasz Zieleniewski]

There is a general SIP Proxy behavior which applies to all requests.
What You want to achieve, as I understand is to applie local policy for
requests. In this case decision is up to You what response You will
send to client,
Based on the policy context.
Method Not Allowed seems to be a right one:)
