[Users] nathelper natping OPTIONS packets formated to not get reply?

Hi Glen,

good job with the testing!! thanks a lot.

first, just to be sure, the missing username is in the TO hdr as 
originally posted, right?

the idea is to find a compromised between how correct the OPTIONS should 
be build and how efficient (in terms of speed and complexity).

In order to set the right username I will need to also get from the 
usrloc the AOR of the user. this involves changes and penalties in the 
usrloc interaction, thinks I'm trying to avoid.

do you think that placing a static dummy username (if missing) into the 
TO will fix the problem?

regards,
bogdan
