Hello,
I remember having read somewhere that the 'ser.cfg' file used at
'iptel.org' can be downloaded somewhere in order to be used as an
example for many of the functionalities ser offers. Unfortunately I
can't remember where I read this, nor did I find it on the ftp server...
:(
Is this config file still available for download?
There is no such 8.11 iptel config file available.
I am mainly asking because I am looking for an answer
for the following
phenomenon:
I have SER running on my home network (on the gateway). When I try to
send an IM to my account at
iptel.org using kphone and I use my gateway
SER as an outbound proxy, everything runs smoothly; I get a message back
from
iptel.org that the IM will be delivered to me as soon as I login
the next time (what will not happen until I solved the NAT problem ;)).
Now, when I try the same without using my gateway as an outbound proxy,
I get the beloved message from
iptel.org that it doesn't like my private
Contact address.
I hope that's easy to explain. We deny requests with private-IP addresses
in their contact header field. Such requests can't be followed up by
subsequent requests -- private IP addresses maky subsequent conversation
non-routable. We better deny and tell you it would break rather than
let it break later.
We except cases in which record-route was applied as we assume that
record-routing is used in a smart way to get subsequent requests over
NATs.
The only way the two requests differ is that the one
using the outbound
proxy uses a record-route
That's exactly the point.
