Prior to rfc3311 (UPDATE), INFO without body was commonly used to check dialog 
state as alternative to using re-INVITE.  Now that rfc3311 is available, it is 
more commonly used.

If Twinkle supports rfc2976, it must return 200 instead of 415 when INFO 
contains no body.

RFC 2976 section 2.2: 

"A 200 OK response MUST be sent by a UAS for an INFO request with no message 
body if the INFO request was successfully received for an existing call."

"A 481 Call Leg/Transaction Does Not Exist message MUST be sent by a UAS if the 
INFO request does not match any existing call leg."
