So in my opinion there is no extra value in adding a Session-Expires
header to a request at a proxy.
That's actually not correct. It is sufficient in one UA supports ST. It is
up to proxy server to handle the case correctly. We do that and there are
reasonable use cases.
I did not wanted to write down this special case, but I feared that someone
will come up with it :-)
But in this special case you will also have to watch out for the replies, if
they contain a Session-Expires header. The draft gives a fairly good overview
what a new SER module would have to do ;-) (although it should also be doable
in the script itself).
It can be done in the script, there is no need for a new module, we
have been using it with cisco gateways, they do support session timer,
so the proxy server inserts the headers into requests and replies.
You can test for an INVITE coming from cisco and set an onreply_route.
In the onreply_route you can do something like:
if (status =~ "2[0-9][0-9]") {
remove_hf("Session-Expires");
append_hf("Session-Expires: 120;refresher=UAC\r\n");
};
which "emulates" session-timer support in the user agent that sent 200
OK. After receiving such a reply, the cisco gateway would keep sending
re-INVITEs.
