[Users] nathelper natping OPTIONS packets formated to not get reply?

Well sorry for the deal between post but wanted to find the time to run some
tests. Below is a table showing results of some tests I did related to which
clients response to options packets with and without username.
Overwhelmingly, UA's don't seem to respond to OPTIONS packets without
username. I have implemented a work around using AVP which is also below but
I thought you might want to see this based on my findings.

I do the following before I save location to all registration packets. In
order to add username to the received field. 
avp_subst("i:42","/(sip:)(.*)$/\1$fU@\2/");

Hi,

indeed, if received uri is set, usrloc returns it received as contact 
uri. Again, that's so due simplicity reasons.
On the other hand,  an uri without username is a compliant SIP URI 
(according to RFC).
I see no reasons for the TO to be rejected in this format.

Regards,
Bogdan
