Greg, do you really believe that avoiding added, but optional complexity is good enough reason for not having IMHO necessary functionality?
Not at all. My point was that it is extremely important to add functionality where it belongs logically and where you can ensure that regular ser.cfg users are able to use the functionality without understanding the specs.
Sure. I probably got you wrong. Sorry.
Again, IMHO, having something better than ip auth is a must in today's internet.
Again, I agree.
Perfect :)
On the subject: I guess the reason is, as I said before, that not only cseq in original invite must be incremented, but cseq in all subsequent in-dialog messages must be adjusted (decremented for messages relayed to callee and incremented for messages relayed to called party). That is what, I guess, is hard to do in today's ser. I've posted my thoughts on how it possibly could be accomplished at http://lists.iptel.org/pipermail/serdev/2005-May/004589.html and haven't received any feedback or comments. I guess either there's a lack of interest for getting it to work which I guess is really strange or it's too hard to implement at current stage. As always any comments are welcome :)
I don't think it's a lack of interest or lack of need for it. All the developers are bombarded with requests and have long lists of core things to do. Sometimes its even hard to get them to evaluate and include patches in CVS. IMHO, increment cseq belongs in the UAC module (can do far too much harm if users play around with it). If you cannot get the maintainers attention, there is only one way: Get your hands dirty ;-)
I agree. I wasn't at all going to argue that it logically belongs to UAC module. Well, I believe I did everything I could to give it a push. I'm a user, not a developer and I'm not sure that I can even get myself somehow familiar with ser codebase in a finite amount of time. I understand this is open-source, but I guess users entitled to make feature requests :)
