Hi all,

if you want to conform to RFC 3261 then you cannot drop the call you have to
ignore the not required header fields.
See section 7.3.2

7.3.2 Header Field Classification

   Some header fields only make sense in requests or responses.  These
   are called request header fields and response header fields,
   respectively.  If a header field appears in a message not matching
   its category (such as a request header field in a response),
   it *MUST *be ignored.  Section 20 defines the classification of each header
   field.
