[asterisk-users] Asterisk Transfers

[Dan Cropp]

Hi Joshua,

Unfortunately, I tried including the Refer-Sub true and also false in the REFER packet and Cisco seems to ignore them.

Refer-Sub: false
and
Refer-Sub: true

The only thing that seems to work properly with the Cisco switch is to remove the norefersub from Supported

Joshua, is it correct that the norefersub has to be in res_pjsip_refer.c for Asterisk to be able to process incoming REFER requests?

If I were willing to write code, how difficult would it be to make the norefersub optional or used for incoming (allowing phones to REFER), but not for outgoing (not send to Cisco)?

Thank you Joshua.

We're trying to run more tests.
We believe Cisco may not be adhering to the specification.  Unfortunately, we're also stuck with having to make it work.

An interesting test, I commented out the norefersub from the res_pjsip_refer.c code just for a test.  Without this, Cisco does sent the NOTIFY packets to let Asterisk know the status (Trying, Ringing, OK, 486 Busy Here, ...)

Would it make sense for me to try including the Refer-Sub in the REFER packet Asterisk sends to Cisco?  Perhaps Cisco sees the norefersub, but not the Refer-Sub header.  It may interpret the lack of a Refer-Sub header in the REFER incorrectly?

There is no way to configure it. It would have to be removed from res_pjsip_refer's code itself. The presence of "norefersub" in Supported also isn't supposed to enable it. It's just for stating it is supported. It's supposed to be enabled by the presence of the "Refer-Sub" header in the REFER itself. I don't believe we set that on the REFER we produce, we only care if we receive a REFER with it in place.
