Hello Sandip
Why do you say that RFC doesn't talk about Contact for 200 OK response of 
INVITE?
It says that Contact header is mandatory for INVITE response only.


Header field          where   proxy ACK BYE CAN INV OPT REG

Contact                2xx           -   -   -   m   o   o



For OPTIONS, REGISTER it is optional and for rest of the messages (BYE, CANCEL 
) it is forbidden.



Regards

Devki

Subject: [Sip] Contact header in 200 OK

Hi all,

I'd like to know if the Contact header is mandatory for a 200 OK response to an 
INVITE request.

The RFC doesnt explicitly mention anything in this regard although a 200 OK is 
mandatory for a REGISTER request.

If the originating endpoint receives the Contact header in the 180 Ringing 
response (which I assume is mandatory), then it knows the location of the 
remote endpoint, in which case the Contact header would be redundant in the 200 
OK response.

Waiting for some expert intervention.. :)

Regards,
