Hi,
I'd like to know which HTTP methods are supported by Cisco IP Phones (all models), with SIP firmware version 8-5-3.
I'm interested in particular about 30x Redirect Methods. Moreover, I'd like to know if there is some document from Cisco stating this support.
Thanks for the support,
Andrea

The available SIP line-side interface docs are available here: http://developer.cisco.com/web/sip/docs.
Cisco IP Phones implement a few custom extensions to SIP in order to provide special enterprise-level features - these are outlined in the 'Cisco Extensions Overview' doc.

Thanks for your response!
Anyway, I was referring to HTTP, not SIP
methods. My application will use a HTTP proxy that is going to use this
method to re-route the messages to different servers. I'd like to know
if this method is supported.

Hmm, still not clear on what you're asking then.
The IP Phone Services XML API provides HTTP interaction with the phone to enable on screen applications. The only capability it has to affect call control operations is the 'Dial:xxx' URI.
If you want to be able to fully control calls on desktop phones, JTAPI or TAPI (or CUAE) can provide that functionality.

Sorry, I try to better clarify. My XML application uses a load-balancer, which is contacted by the phone (via HTTP), that redirects phone requests to the application server that is going to manage the request itself. To do this, load balancer sends HTTP REDIRECT message to the phone browser.
So, we have
- phone makes the HTTP request to load balancer, let's say 1.2.3.4
- load balancer sends HTTP REDIRECT method redirecting the phone to the less loaded application server, let's say 5.6.7.8
- the phone, if this method is supported, should send the first request back to 5.6.7.8
I'd like to know is the phone supports this method, and if possible, a document stating this support.
Thanks,
Andrea

Ok, I understand now
Yes: the IP phones support HTTP 1.1 when requesting via GET, and will honor 3xx redirect status codes per RFC: http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/rfc2616.html
