>             Project: Asterisk
>          Issue Type: Bug
>      Security Level: None
>          Components: pjproject/pjsip
>    Affects Versions: 13.2.0
>         Environment: OS: Ubuntu 12.04 inside VirtualBox, with all updates
> Kernel: 3.8.0-29-generic
> pjsip: 2.3 from http://www.pjsip.org/release/2.3/pjproject-2.3.tar.bz2 (./configure --prefix=/usr --enable-shared --enable-epoll; make; sudo make install)
> Asterisk: 13.2.0 from http://downloads.asterisk.org/pub/telephony/asterisk/asterisk-13.2.0.tar.gz (./configure --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc --localstatedir=/var; make; sudo make install)

> While evaluating the latest Asterisk and PJSIP (both compiled from sources), when calling to/from softphones (in particular the latest Linphone v.3.7.0) the INVITE messages from Asterisk are rejected due to the specification violation.
> Here are more people having the same problem: http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.telephony.pbx.asterisk.user/281228 and http://lists.digium.com/pipermail/asterisk-dev/2003-July/001114.html.
> Linphone has a debug option: {{linphone.exe --logfile "c:\Temp\logs.txt"}} and in the generated logfile one can see something like:
> {code}[error] Missing mandatory header [Max-Forwards] for message [INVITE]{code}
> \\
> And this is what Asterisk sends to it:
> {code}
> INVITE sip:6002 at 192.168.56.102 SIP/2.0
> Via: SIP/2.0/UDP 192.168.56.3:5060;rport;branch=z9hG4bKPjbf53c93c-a424-4b9e-9e6a-b50d0e606965

> So indeed, there is no "Max-Forwards" header sent with the INVITE requests, but, according to the SIP RFC 3261: "A valid SIP request formulated by a UAC MUST, at a minimum, contain the following header fields: To, From, CSeq, Call-ID, Max-Forwards, and Via; all of these header fields are mandatory in all SIP requests."
> \\
> After researching a bit the source code of pjsip, I found that actually almost all messages originating from it don't have Max-Forwards fields.
> I've tried to add the header manually and it solves the problem (this is not a definitive solution; it has some minor issues):

> But then I've discussed it with people at pjsip at lists.pjsip.org (here is the thread: http://lists.pjsip.org/pipermail/pjsip_lists.pjsip.org/2015-February/018120.html) and they suggest that the issue is actually within the code that integrates pjsip with asterisk (e.g. {{res/res_pjsip/config_global.c}}) and suggested filling an issue here.
> \\
> This problem is a show-stopper when there are softphones among the endpoints.
> \\

> \\
> *UPDATE*: Harald Radke pointed out in the discussion at pjsip at lists.pjsip.org:
> {quote}having a quick look at res_pjsip.c of the asterisk res(ource?):
> {noformat}
>     /* PJSIP will automatically try to add a Max-Forwards header. Since we want to control that,
>      * we need to stop PJSIP from doing it automatically
>      */
>     remove_request_headers(ast_pjsip_endpoint);
> {noformat}
> Thus this asterisk code clearly modifies the default behaviour of PJSIP thus it is up to either the user to configure it properly (maybe there is a Max-Forwards option in a config file which, if not set, will result in not putting in a max-forwards header field with a default value) or it is a bug in res-pjsip.
> {quote}
> So indeed, it looks like a bug in res_pjsip.
