android.javax.sip.header.package.html Maven / Gradle / Ivy
This package contains all the headers interfaces supported
by this specification. SIP header fields are similar to HTTP header fields in
both syntax and semantics. This specification models each SIP header as a
specific interface as opposed to have a single generic interface to handle all
header information. It is deemed more explicit for protocol support to define
protocol characteristics as opposed to generic interfaces. This specification
supports all the headers defined in RFC 3261 and other headers introduced by
supporting the following additional RFC's:
- RFC3262 - RAckHeader and RSeqHeaders
for the reliable delivery of provisional responses.
- RFC3265 - AllowEventsHeader, EventHeader
and SubscriptionStateHeader to support the event
notification framework.
- RFC3326 - ReasonHeader to support information on why the request
was issued.
- RFC3515 - ReferToHeader to support recipients to refer requests
to another resource
- RFC3903 – SIPETagHeader and SIPIfMatchHeader
for publishing event state used within the SIP Events framework.
This specification also provides a mechanism to support other extension
Headers. If a SIP stack vendor supports such extension headers these must
extend the ExtensionHeader interface, which contains
header name and header value attributes.
Additionally this package contains a HeaderFactory
class that defines methods for creating new headers. The HeaderFactory
is a singleton object, which can be obtained from the {@link android.javax.sip.SipFactory}.
