* The Allow header field lists the set of methods supported by the User Agent
* generating the message. All methods, including ACK and CANCEL, understood
* by the User Agent MUST be included in the list of methods in the Allow header
* field, when present.
* The absence of an Allow header field MUST NOT be interpreted to mean that
* the User Agent sending the message supports no methods. Rather, it implies
* that the User Agent is not providing any information on what methods it
* supports. Supplying an Allow header field in responses to methods other than
* OPTIONS reduces the number of messages needed.
*
* For Example:
* Allow: INVITE, ACK, OPTIONS, CANCEL, BYE
