CSipSimple doesn't seem to work with sipcloak

[Jesper Henriksen]

Is the redirection which sipcloak does such a basic part of the SIP
standard that all clients must support it, or can it be expected that
some clients don't work with it?

When I first tried sipcloak I only tested it with CSipSimple, an app for
android. But it never worked. It would always just sit there for a while
showing "call in progress" and then finally return 408 Request Timeout.

I recently got a chance to test from kphone on Linux and from my trusty
old Nokia E51. Kphone pops up a dialog to confirm that I accept the
redirection. The E51 pops up a notification box to indicate the
redirection. Both work fine.

Does this indicate that CSipSimple is broken and should receive a bug
report, or is there anything else I should do to find the cause? I
should mention that all this testing was done from devices on the same
LAN segment with an openwrt NAT router to the internet. CSipSimple was
tested both with its internal local account and with my actual SIP
provider online. Kphone and E51 were tested only with my actual SIP
provider.

Did you enable DNS SRV in Settings->Network?  It won't work if you do not enable it.

Heureka, that did it! Thanks for pointing me in the right direction. Now
it works fine.

Awesome -- and to answer part of your original question, no, DNS SRV is not part of SIP -- it is a feature that can be used by any protocol.

In email, an MX record points to a mail server.. with DNS SRV records, the SRV record points to the server for the protocol you want to process.

sipcloak is a neat trick using TXT records to point to the proper server.
