However maybe the check could be made more robust, because if you have the fragmented "Allow" header containing the method names with a space before comma (it's permitted by SIP grammar) like you see below, you would again think that it's the first line of the SIP message: Allow: INVITE , ACK , CANCEL , OPTIONS , BYE Maybe it's worth checking two bytes after method name; the first byte must be a space and the second must a alphanumeric character: the URI following the method name has to start with "sip:" or "sips:" or some other scheme, which starts for sure with an ALPHA character. Request-Line = Method SP Request-URI SP SIP-Version CRLF Request-URI = SIP-URI / SIPS-URI / absoluteURI absoluteURI = scheme ":" ( hier-part / opaque-part ) scheme = ALPHA *( ALPHA / DIGIT / "+" / "-" / "." ) -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netfilter-devel" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
