[SR-Users] Testing server up with SIP OPTIONS/netcat

Hi all, As part of a custom monitoring solution, I’m writing a simple script that sends an OPTIONS via netcat to a Kamailio server. However the server doesn’t appear to like it. Here’s the text - options.sip: OPTIONS sip:10.0.0.10 SIP/2.0 Via: SIP/2.0/UDP 10.0.0.20:5060 From: <sip:monitoring@10.0.0.20> To: sip:monitoring@10.0.0.10 Call-ID: monitoring(a)10.0.0.20 CSeq: 1 OPTIONS I’m running the following command from the 10.0.0.20 machine: nc -u 10.0.0.10 5060 < options.sip And I get the following error in the Kamailio logs: ERROR: <core> [core/parser/parse_cseq.c:56]: parse_cseq(): method terminated unexpectedly ERROR: <core> [core/parser/parse_cseq.c:92]: parse_cseq(): bad cseq ERROR: <core> [core/parser/msg_parser.c:144]: get_hdr_field(): bad cseq ERROR: <core> [core/parser/msg_parser.c:337]: parse_headers(): bad header field [CSeq: 1 OPTIONS] ERROR: <core> [core/parser/parse_cseq.c:56]: parse_cseq(): method terminated unexpectedly ERROR: <core> [core/parser/parse_cseq.c:92]: parse_cseq(): bad cseq ERROR: <core> [core/parser/msg_parser.c:144]: get_hdr_field(): bad cseq ERROR: <core> [core/parser/msg_parser.c:337]: parse_headers(): bad header field [CSeq: 1 OPTIONS] WARNING: <core> [core/receive.c:319]: receive_msg(): parsing relevant headers failed ERROR: <core> [core/parser/parse_cseq.c:56]: parse_cseq(): method terminated unexpectedly ERROR: <core> [core/parser/parse_cseq.c:92]: parse_cseq(): bad cseq ERROR: <core> [core/parser/msg_parser.c:144]: get_hdr_field(): bad cseq ERROR: <core> [core/parser/msg_parser.c:337]: parse_headers(): bad header field [CSeq: 1 OPTIONS] ERROR: pv [pv_core.c:1893]: pv_get_hdr(): error parsing headers ERROR: {1 <null> monitoring(a)13.236.91.139} <core> [core/parser/parse_cseq.c:56]: parse_cseq(): method terminated unexpectedly ERROR: {1 <null> monitoring(a)13.236.91.139} <core> [core/parser/parse_cseq.c:92]: parse_cseq(): bad cseq ERROR: {1 <null> monitoring(a)13.236.91.139} <core> [core/parser/msg_parser.c:144]: get_hdr_field(): bad cseq ERROR: {1 <null> monitoring(a)13.236.91.139} <core> [core/parser/msg_parser.c:337]: parse_headers(): bad header field [CSeq: 1 OPTIONS] ERROR: {1 <null> monitoring(a)13.236.91.139} <core> [core/parser/parse_cseq.c:56]: parse_cseq(): method terminated unexpectedly ERROR: {1 <null> monitoring(a)13.236.91.139} <core> [core/parser/parse_cseq.c:92]: parse_cseq(): bad cseq ERROR: {1 <null> monitoring(a)13.236.91.139} <core> [core/parser/msg_parser.c:144]: get_hdr_field(): bad cseq ERROR: {1 <null> monitoring(a)13.236.91.139} <core> [core/parser/msg_parser.c:337]: parse_headers(): bad header field [CSeq: 1 OPTIONS] ERROR: {1 <null> monitoring(a)13.236.91.139} maxfwd [mf_funcs.c:51]: is_maxfwd_present(): parsing MAX_FORWARD header failed!

It appears parse_cseq() is expecting a higher cseq, or more headers? I’ve looked at another OPTIONS message we get regularly from one of our upstream, and it’s almost identical to this one. Can anyone point me the right way here? Thanks! Andrew
