Hello everybody,
I noticed that OpenSER replies with status code "408 Request Timeout" when the fr_timer (tm module) expires. I am wondering if the response code "504 Server Timeout" would be more appropriate in this case. The status code 408 means that "the server could not produce a response, e.g., a user location, within the time indicated in the Expires request-header field. The client MAY repeat the request without modifications at any later time."; and the status code 504 means "the server did not receive a timely response from an external server it accessed in attempting to process the request." It sounds to me that the description of the status code 504 better describes what happens in OpenSER when the fr_timer expires. Any comments? I am using OpenSER 1.2.x.
Best regards, Anatoly Pidruchny.
