[Serusers] Processing of OPTIONS Request

[Andy Blen]

sorry -- that was a reply meant to be sent to other question. As for your OPTIONS
question -- if you mean a proxy server by "the server", than correct behavior is
as it is, which is OPTIONS is processed and forwarded. 100 is ok in stateful mode.
The final reply is generated by UAS (unless there is an obvious reason to reply
localy, like if max-forwards is zero).

In general, questions about the SIP standard are best placed to sip-implementors 
mailing list.

Regards,

andy

That refers to a UAS (not a proxy).

which is correct
