Hi all,

I have observed such behaviour in several occasions too.  So practically
this behaviour seems to be acceptable (maybe for reasons of better
compatibility?)  Having said that
, someone had also challenged me the security issue of doing so. So I am
confused what SHOULD be the correct way (backed up by RFC3261 is better =)
)

regards,
Keith
