Summary: 200 for CANCEL contains wrong To_tag

Initial Comment:
According to RFC 3261 "9.2 Server Behavior":

  "...the UAS answers the CANCEL request itself with
   a 200 (OK) response.  This response is constructed
   following the procedures described in Section
   8.2.6 noting that the *To tag* of the response to
   the CANCEL and the *To tag* in the response to the
   original request SHOULD be the *same*.  The
   response to CANCEL is passed to the server 
   transaction for transmission."

But OpenSer doesn't not it. OpenSer generates a new To tag for the 200 to the CANCEL different from the To tag received in the 180 Ringing.

I attach a trace in which Asterisk calls to a OpenSer user, this user rings but Asterisk sends a CANCEL. The 200 To_tag to this CANCEL is different of the To_tag in the 180:

Because it Asterisk resends CANCEL again and again.

I've seen most devices "allow" it, but IMHO it's not RFC compliant, is it?

As Klaus Darilion sais in mail list:

"what says the RFC about a proxy which does parallel forking? Then there
may be multiple 180 ringing with multiple to tags. Which one should be
used?"

So then maybe RFC is buggy in this CANCELspecification not compliant with
proxies doing parallel forking?
