Parsing expires from REGISTER reply

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Electrocut,

I think perhaps you have not noticed the complete replacement sip_reg.c attached to my post.  Changing the contact_cnt == 0 to > 0 was just to poke it about some.  I've taken all that code out and replaced it with a latency adjusted client-side timer based solution for the very reason you've pointed out below.  These changes are much more violent I'm afraid, but from my testing it seems to work fine with multiple clients..  Give that a go and let me know how you get on.  Be aware that I started with 0.8.0 release code, not the SVN stuff so be careful not to leap-frog other changes.

I think the only situation where this wouldn't work is if the server tried to force the client to register more often than it requested, but that would be easily sorted by changing the expire time at the client.  I've never seen a SIP server do that but I'm sure there'll be one out there somewhere :-).

Alan.

Subject: Re: Parsing expires from REGISTER reply

I agree with you Alan, I had the same problem a few minutes ago :
with "pjsip_cfg()->regc.check_contact" disabled, it will fail anyway with a "unregister success", if more than once user have registered to the account. (if we assume 'Contact: header' is missing)

Another problem with the fix you proposed :

if (expiration == NOEXP)
  expiration = -1;
else if (expiration == 0 && contact_cnt > 0 && contact[0]->expires > 0)
  expiration = contact[0]->expires;


is that you don't know if 'contact[0]->expires' is your expire value ... or if it is 'contact[1]->expires'


If 'contact[0]->expires' is taken as the "good expire value", only if the "Contact header recognation" (like when "check_contact" is enabled) has failed ... if could solve a part of the problem, but not all.

If my assumption is right (I haven't tested it) finally, it should be :

I hope we will managed to find the best solution for this issue :)

Hi Alan,

First of all, I think this issue has come up several times on this
list, so I've just added this entry in the FAQ to explain the
rationale why PJSIP behaves this way, and also few solutions to cope
with it: http://trac.pjsip.org/repos/wiki/FAQ#regc

I do like your solution. And while this is server problem (regardless
of how popular it is; if it's broken, then it needs to be fixed, IMO),
in the SVN trunk we already have couple of settings to deal with this,
so if we want to handle this, why not go all the way. So I've just
added the trick (to get the expiration value from the single Contact,
if Expires header is not present) in the latest SVN version. Thanks
for the suggestion.

Now enjoy the bank holiday. :)

Cheers
 Benny
