Summary:                    With "pedantic=yes" Asterisk shouldn't match To tag
if the dialog is not established
Description: 
Asterisk in SIP pedantic mode.

- Asterisk calls to an external SIP user in OpenSer proxy.
- After "Ringing" Asterisk sends CANCEL.
- OpenSer replies with "200 canceling" but Asterisk doesn't recognize it
so resends the CANCEL.

I've a theory of why it fails:

The "180 Ringing" contains a "To" tag:
  To: <sip:ibc at aliax.net>;tag=veuje

When Asterisk sends CANCEL OpenSer replies with:
  SIP/2.0 200 canceling
  To: <sip:ibc at aliax.net>;tag=373b8885156114ecb2c4bd665f9faf0b-f9aa

So Asterisk asumes wrong To tag (because it's different as the received
one) and discards it.

Of course, OpenSer proxy behaviour is correct: there could be many "180
Ringing" each one with different To tag in case of forking scenario, so the
To tag in the "200 canceling" from OpenSer *shouldn't* match any previous
"To" tag received in any provisional response.

About it I opened a thread in Sip-implementators mailist in which this
issue is explained:
 
https://lists.cs.columbia.edu/pipermail/sip-implementors/2007-October/017668.html


IMHO the solution would be:
Asterisk shouldn't try to match a To tag if the dialog is not yet
established. And Asterisk should assume that it can receive multiples To
tag in provisional responses in case of forking scenarios (there are more
SIP in the world than just single phones registered in Asterisk XD).
