[Asterisk-Dev] Bug report 4783 and RFC 3326: The Reason Header Field for SIP

[Mikael Magnusson]

Hi,

a new header, "X-asterisk-hangupcause", is introduced in bug report
#4783 "Adding cleartext hangupcause to BYE and CANCEL" [1].

Wouldn't it make more sense to use the Reason header as defined in the
standard tracks RFC 3326[2] instead? It explicitly states that the
reason header is most useful in BYE and CANCEL requests.

Example:
     Reason: SIP ;cause=600 ;text="Busy Everywhere"

/Regards
Mikael Magnusson
