[SIPForum-discussion] Expires header vs expires parameter in Contact header

*Contact: sip:kias at kias.net ;expires=1800*
Add Contact to current registrations;
registration expires in 30 minutes.


When present in an INVITE request, the header field sets a time limit on the
completion of the INVITE request. The UAC must receive a final response
(non-1xx) within the time period or the INVITE request is automatically
canceled with a 408 Request Timeout response. Once the session is
established, the value from the Expires header field in the original INVITE
has no effect—the Session-Expires header field must be used for this
purpose. When present in a REGISTER request, the header field sets the time
limit on the URIs in Contact header fields that do not contain an expires
parameter.
