New subject: [Serusers] Contacts in 200 OK

19 Jan 2004

Hello, Bernie and list

I think my point of view is wrong. The behaviour of SER is absolutely 
OK about contacts. My last explanation in previous message has been 
terribly bad. Our problem is about phonebook.

We want to allow users to register from PC, mobile phones, smart 
phones, iPaq,... in a multimedia environment. They should be able to 
make voice calls and IM. But we have to find out the way to avoid users 
write its phonebook every time they change from PC to mobil phone, for 
example. (And all of this over IPv6, but it will be later)

So, I think the question is: Can SER manage phonebooks via 
SUSBRIBE/NOTIFY or any other method? Should the client ask to SER for 
phonebook table or it's a SER initiative? And if SER is not designed 
for this, does anyone know a software, module, whatever which can 
handle this? Or do you suggest any other way to attack this problem?

Thank you very much for your time

Curro

  Hello,

 Thanks to the list for your help. I can say that SER is running   OK and
  we are doing a lot of very interesting tests.

 I have a question about contacts. As Jiri said to me, SER sends all
 contacts in replies to REGISTER. This reply is a 200 OK and has   so many
  Contact fields as the user has in database.

 This is the correct behavior as standardized in RFC 3261.

  The problem is that SIP clients like Windows
Messenger  doesn't care
 about this Contact Fields. I know this isn't very important if   you're>
thinking of SIP Phones, but we are very interested in 
 presence. We work
  with SIP applications which need to know about
user's contacts from
 database.  
 I don't see the link between "Windows Messenger" not caring about 
 otherContacts and a Presence feature in the database (I guess you 
 want SER to
 support this?).

  So, I would like to know if someone has tested a
SIP software that
 works on this issue. We have looked at RFC 3261 about this, but   there>
isn't any comment.

 What do you mean by "this issue"? Could you explain this a bit more.
