Chapter 1. User's Guide
1.1. Overview
This module provides a function to answer OPTIONS requests
which are directed to the server itself. This means an OPTIONS
request which has the address of the server in the request
URI, and no username in the URI. The request will be answered
with a 200 OK which the capabilities of the server.
To answer OPTIONS request directed to your server is the
easiest way for is-alive-tests on the SIP (application) layer
from remote (similar to ICMP echo requests, also known as
"ping", on the network layer).

* sl -- Stateless replies.

1.2.2. External Libraries or Applications
The following libraries or applications must be installed
before running OpenSER with this module loaded:
* None.

1.3. Exported Parameters
1.3.1. accept (string)
This parameter is the content of the Accept header field.
Note: it is not clearly written in RFC3261 if a proxy should
accept any content (the default "*/*") because it does not
care about content. Or if it does not accept any content,
which is "".
Default value is "*/*".
Example 1-1. Set accept parameter
...
modparam("options", "accept", "application/*")
...
_________________________________________________________
1.3.2. accept_encoding (string)
This parameter is the content of the Accept-Encoding header
field. Please do not change the default value because OpenSER
does not support any encodings yet.
Default value is "".
Example 1-2. Set accept_encoding parameter
...
modparam("options", "accept_encoding", "gzip")
...
_________________________________________________________
1.3.3. accept_language (string)
This parameter is the content of the Accept-Language header
field. You can set any language code which you prefer for
error descriptions from other devices, but presumably there
are not much devices around which support other languages then
the default English.
Default value is "en".
Example 1-3. Set accept_language parameter
...
modparam("options", "accept_language", "de")
...
_________________________________________________________
1.3.4. support (string)
This parameter is the content of the Support header field.
Please do not change the default value, because OpenSER
currently does not support any of the SIP extensions
registered at the IANA.
Default value is "".
Example 1-4. Set support parameter
...
modparam("options", "support", "100rel")
...
_________________________________________________________
1.4. Exported Functions
1.4.1. options_reply()
This function checks if the request method is OPTIONS and if
the request URI does not contain an username. If both is true
the request will be answered stateless with "200 OK" and the
capabilities from the modules parameters.
It sends "500 Server Internal Error" for some errors and
returns false if it is called for a wrong request.
The check for the request method and the missing username is
optional because it is also done by the function itself. But
you should not call this function outside the myself check
because in this case the function could answer OPTIONS
requests which are sent to you as outbound proxy but with an
other destination then your proxy (this check is currently
missing in the function).
This function can be used from REQUEST_ROUTE.
Example 1-5. options_reply usage
...
if (uri==myself) {
if ((method==OPTIONS) && (! uri=~"sip:.*[@]+.*")) {
options_reply();
}
}
...
