Hi Christian,
You can try the following patch.
I don't use OPTIONS pings, so I haven't tested it.
Best regards,
Kristian Høgh

Hi Christian,
you are right, it is missing in the generated OPTIONS from nathelper. It needs to be
added in the respective code part probably.
Cheers,
Henning Westerholt

Subject: [SR-Users] Max-Forwards header missing in OPTIONS keep-alive
messages
Hello,
in RFC 3261 (sec. 8.1.1.6) it states about the Max-Forwards header field:

A UAC MUST insert a Max-Forwards header field
into each request it
originates with a value that SHOULD be 70.
When Kamailio sends its OPTIONS keep-alive requests (from the nathelper
module I believe), Max-Forwards is missing:
OPTIONS sip:alice@example.com:61266 SIP/2.0
Via: SIP/2.0/UDP aa.bb.cc.dd:5060;branch=z9hG4bK5124450
From:
sip:pinger@sip.example.com;tag=uloc-6550aa14-7456-2461-6390f173-
5fdb46
67
To: sip:alice@example.com:61266
Call-ID: aba25282-2ca72be1-9d1fd53(a)aa.bb.cc.dd
CSeq: 1 OPTIONS
Content-Length: 0
The user agent library I'm using (libre from baresip) rejects these requests with
a "400 Bad Request" response, I looked at the sources and it denies these
requests because of the missing Max-Forwards header.
Of course this suffices for the keep-alive logic because all that's needed is any
traffic in both directions to keep both (potential) NATs open. However you
might agree that it does look a bit confusing at first, and the RFC is clear about
that.
So it's not a bug, but is this behavior intended?
Thanks, also thanks for all the great work that has been put into Kamailio.
Christian
