Hello
list,
I have searched this
list for an answer to the 302 response handling problem but found no real
solution. It seems no one actually has an aswer for this so I studied the RFC
3261 and found the following statement:
The requesting
client SHOULD retry the request at the new address(es) given by the contact
header field.
In my mind that
statement is completely off the wall, it is not the requesting client that
should be responsible for establishing the forwarded call, it never is in
the rest of the telecom industry so why should it be the case for
SIP? Instead, this should ofcourse be the responsibility of the
forwarding client or the service provider on behalf of the forwarding client.
But as the RFC is not crafted that way I need to find a way to handle call
forwarding in a proper way so that the cost for the forwarded
call ends up on the forwarding clients bill. As call forwarding is a
basic requirement in any phone network there must be some one reading this list
who has solved this issue that can share there insight.
Any help on this
issue is highly apreciated.
Kind regards
Roger Lewau
