Hi Greg,
OPTIONS is a request which determines the capabilities of the destination. A UA or a proxy should answer with its supported features (see RFC for details). I think Ser is currently not able to answer such a request correctly. But i have never seen a UA which queried the server. You can send an OPTIONS whenever you want, for example to change the connection with a re-INVITE, allthough it makes more sence to query the capabilities before a connection.
But OPTIONS is also used for "traceroute" (see RFC for details, and sipsak for an implementation) because it do not establish a call to the UA.
Regards Nils

What, if anything, should the SER server do with a OPTIONS method?
I am receiving this method, from a phone, right after the phone makes a conversation. That is, the final ACK is sent from the phone and a call is in progress when the phone decides to send an OPTIONS message. I thought OPTIONS was a pre-call sort of thing, not for the current call.
Anyway, I thought I could just capture the OPTIONS method and send a 486 busy reply with sl_send_reply(). Didn't work.
