[SR-Users] kamailio core request dropping - no reply

[Daniel-Constantin Mierla]

Hello,

there are some mandatory SIP headers, without them a sip reply cannot be 
built.

One is Via as the SIP mandates to send the reply where the last Via 
address points to. In RFC3261, Via also carries the branch parameter 
that should be used to match the transaction.

Cheers,
Daniel
