Thx Andrew,
So according to the standard, it must be escaped but in reality it is
send not escaped. So it depends on the SIP stack implementation if it
will be considered as a valid request or not ? Product A will parse
the message but product B can drop the message because it strictly
implements RFC3261 and considers the message being invalid ?
Regards,
Kurt
