#917 closed defect

CANCEL may be sent to different servers than the INVITE when DNS SRV is used (thanks Alexei Kuznetsov for the report) — at Version 3

Description (last modified by bennylp)

RFC 3263 says:

the ACK for non-2xx SIP responses to INVITE MUST be sent to the same host. Furthermore, a CANCEL for a particular SIP request MUST be sent to the same SIP server that the SIP request was delivered to.

With PJSIP, CANCEL initiates a fresh DNS SRV hence it's possible that it may resolve to different server than the original INVITE.

ACK for non-3xx belongs to the same transaction as the INVITE hence it will reuse the transaction's transport and destination address.

Provisional patch, fixing the issue by inserting a hidden Route header to the CANCEL and INVITE request. This patch will not work if strict route is used, hence alternative solution is needed.
