[SR-Users] Sending CANCEL

[Grant Bagdasarian]

Will do. I'm not forking the INVITE, so there will only be a single branch.

The UAS that receives the CANCEL will send a 200 Ok on the Cancel that you need NOT to forward to the UA.
At the same time it will send a 487 Request terminated that you WILL HAVE TO forward to the UAC so that it closes the transaction. Unless you have other branches, then you will have to swallow the 487 too.

I haven't tested this function so I don't know which parts of this that happens automagically in TM in the transaction context. I would assume that the 200 OK is handled properly and the 487 is forwarded only if there are not other branches that hasn't received a final response. This you will have to test. I would be happy if you report your findings back to the list!
