[SIPForum-discussion] Parsing SIP Request without From Header

[Rajdeep Ahluwalia]

Hi Keerthi,

as from the following lines from the rfc3261 the from header is mandatory
so, a 400 bad request error should be returned

8.1.1 Generating the Request
A valid SIP request formulated by a UAC MUST, at a minimum, contain
the following header fields: To, From, CSeq, Call-ID, Max-Forwards,
and Via; all of these header fields are mandatory in all SIP
requests.

best regards
rajdeep
