Hi,
Howdy :)
www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc3261
21.4.10 410 Gone
The requested resource is no longer available at the server and no
forwarding address is known. This condition is expected to be
considered permanent. If the server does not know, or has no
facility to determine, whether or not the condition is permanent, the
status code 404 (Not Found) SHOULD be used instead.
- Atle
First off, I thought a 410 was supposed to be unauthorised (what is
'Gone' ?). Secondly... is the UA requesting our server to authorise its
reinvite, or is something else going on here I clearly don't follow?
And of course, I just realised that I'm apparently dyslexic and can't
tell the difference between a 410 and a 401.
However, my question still stands. What IS a 410 response (what RFC is
it in?), and how should SER respond to it? Send a BYE? A CANCEL? Ignore
it and hope it goes away?
