Can anyone please explain me how the previous Subscribe/notify handling affected the functioning of the program? What is the enhancement exactly? Thanks.

@Peter:

Starting from this release, Mercuro correctly handles NOTIFY requests that uses a subscription state like "deactivated" or "noresource", which may trigger a subscription retry.

Thanks for the answer!
I've got one more question:
A client subscribes to a presentity.
Does it refresh the subscribe on timer expiration according to RFC 3265 (http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3265#section-3.1.1)?
Thanks!

Laurent Etiemble said...

Yes, it does. Mercuro strictly follows the RFC and the 3GPP specifications on that point.

Note: Mercuro does the refresh a short time before the timer's expiration to avoid cross subscription/unsubscription.

Thanks again for the quick answer. I happen to be experimenting according to my question above setting the "expires" header in subscription response. For example if I set the value at 500, the re-subscribe attempt came after approx. 700 sec. I tried it several times, same result. How can it be?
