Summary:                    [patch] Asterisk cannot handle SIP 183 "Session
Progress" if no SDP is contained in it
Description: 
We have a trunk to an Alcatel system running and they send "183 Session
Progress" SIP messages without SDP. However Asterisk cannot handle these
messages if they do not contain an SDP payload.

Alcatel refers to the SIP RFC3261 standard which states:
"The 183 (Session Progress) response is used to convey information
 about the progress of the call that is not otherwise classified.  The
 Reason-Phrase, header fields, or message body MAY be used to convey
 more details about the call progress."

The emphasis lies on MAY in the last sentence, so to be compliant with the
SIP standard Asterisk should be able to handle 183 messages without any SDP
in the message body.

Aah, great!

I came back from a two-week vacation today. Good to see that this issue is
making progress.
I will have a look into this as well, but I'm positive about this.

I apologize for originally filing this as "crash". This is due to the fact
that I have set the language to "german" for this issue-interface and it
seems there was something not translated correctly. I have now switched
back to english language so this cannot happen again.
