I just want to make sure I understand this comment before I add a new revision:

"do we parse incoming Require: headers to our INVITE?"

Are you asking if we parse Require headers in responses to our INVITE? If that's the \
question, then no we do not in current 1.8. Based on my reading of RFC 4028, I don't \
think it's really necessary for us to read a Require header in a response. Let's go \
over the various scenarios where Asterisk is the one placing the original INVITE:

* session-timers=originate
  * session-refresher=uac
    When Asterisk sends an INVITE out, it includes a Supported: timer header and a \
Session-Expires header.  In this situation, the far end MUST send Require: timer in \
the 200 OK. We don't look for this header, but we do look for a Session-Expires \
header to determine the refresh interval. If the far end overrides our refresher \
preference, then we'll honor their preference.

  * session-refresher=uas
    When Asterisk sends an INVITE out, it includes a Supported: timer header and a \
Session-Expires header.  In this situation, the far end SHOULD send Require: timer in \
the 200 OK. We don't look for this header, but we do look for a Session-Expires \
header to determine the refresh interval. If the far end overrides our refresher \
preference, then we'll honor their preference.

* session-timers=accept
  In this mode, Asterisk's behavior is the same no matter what session-refresher is \
set to.  When Asterisk sends an INVITE out, it includes a Supported: timer header and \
a Session-Expires header.  In this situation, the far end SHOULD send Require: timer \
in the 200 OK. We don't look for this header, but we do look for a Session-Expires \
header to determine the refresh interval. We will let the far end decide who the \
refresher is.

* session-timers=refuse
  In this mode, Asterisk's behavior is the same no matter what session-refresher is \
set to.  When Asterisk sends an INVITE out, it does not include a Supported: timer \
header, nor does it include a Session-Expires header.  In this situation, RFC 4028 \
does not explicitly say whether the UAS should or should not include a Require: timer \
header in the 200 OK. In this situation, Asterisk does not inspect the Require header \
and it will also ignore the Session-Expires header in the 200 OK response. In theory, \
this is because Asterisk is refusing to use session timers. In such a case, the UAS \
would be responsible for all refreshes, and Asterisk simply does not care about \
session expiry. Whether this is actually compliant, I'm not sure, since it appears \
that the UAS is the entity that gets to decide in the end whether there is a session \
timer in use or not.

So let's sum up. In every case where there might be a Require: timer, there will also \
be a Session-Expires header. If we're looking at the Session-Expires header, then is \
it really necessary for us to also inspect the Require header? Does the presence of a \
Require header in addition to a Session-Expires header change how we should behave? I \
don't think it does, actually. Looking at your branch, you get the Require header \
value but all you do is print a debug message if it was set to "timer". There's no \
additional processing done.

when sending INVITE responses.

If session timers are in use, then there are two situations under which we&#39;ll add \
the header:

1) We are sending a 200 OK with a Session-Expires header that has a refresher \
parameter of &quot;uac&quot; 2) We are sending a 200 OK with a Session-Expires header \
that has a refresher parameter of &quot;uas&quot; and the INVITE to which we are \
responding had a Supported: timer header in it.

This patch also introduces another change. Prior to this change, the only way we \
would add a Session-Expires header in an INVITE response was if the inbound INVITE \
had a Supported: timer header in it. Now we always add this header if Asterisk using \
session-timers=originate. This is based on a table in section 9 of RFC 4028. It \
indicates that if the UAC does not support Session-Timers but the UAS does, then the \
UAS should send a Session-Expires header with a refresher parameter of \
&quot;uas&quot;.</pre>  </td>

INVITE with no Supported: timer header present.
