5 10 Adrian Georgescu
 * Add failure route to OpenSIPS for chat sessions
6 4 Adrian Georgescu
 * SylkServer answers the session in behalf of the called user 
7 11 Adrian Georgescu
 * SylkServer sends an automatic answer with 'I am offline but you can type a message'
8 12 Adrian Georgescu
 * Session is kept open for 90 seconds so that remote party has the chance to write something if he did not already before connect
9 3 Adrian Georgescu
 * Session is closed and saved to local history database
10 5 Adrian Georgescu
 * SylkServer detects when targeted user comes online
11 2 Adrian Georgescu

 * Add failure route to OpenSIPS for chat sessions
16 13 Saúl Ibarra Corretgé
 * SylkServer answers the session in behalf of the called user 
17 13 Saúl Ibarra Corretgé
 * SylkServer sends an automatic answer with 'I am offline but you can type a message'
18 13 Saúl Ibarra Corretgé
 * Every time a chat message is received SylkServer sends a MWI (RFC 3842) PUBLISH on behalf of the caller to the proxy.
19 13 Saúl Ibarra Corretgé
   The payload contains Text-Messages instead of Voice-Messages (RFC 3458, sec 6.2).
20 13 Saúl Ibarra Corretgé
 * When the user comes back online she will subscribe to MWI and learn that she has offline text messages waiting. She can get them by starting a chat session to the URI in the Message-Account field of the MWI payload.
21 13 Saúl Ibarra Corretgé
 * When the user fetches all messages SylkServer will terminate the session and send one last PUBLISH indicating that there are no new offline messages.
22 13 Saúl Ibarra Corretgé
 * SylkServer will provide a single URI for all users to fetch messages, the From header URI will be used to select the appropriate user. This assumes SylkServer is deployed behind a SIP proxy, which a by-design feature of SylkServer.

Things to be clarified:
25 13 Saúl Ibarra Corretgé
26 13 Saúl Ibarra Corretgé
 * What happens if the user has both voice and text messages waiting? Does OpenSIPS aggregate payloads? Do we care? SylkServer can keep publising until the user fetches the offline messages, but Asterisk won't.

33 15 Saúl Ibarra Corretgé
 * When the user comes back online she will subscribe to MWI and learn that she has offline text messages waiting. She can get them by starting a chat session to the URI in the Message-Account field of the MWI payload.
34 15 Saúl Ibarra Corretgé
 * The SIP client will send this second MWI subscription to himself but with a Sylk-App: offline-messages header to the proxy, which will route that SUBSCRIBE to SylkServer, acting as an endpoint.
35 15 Saúl Ibarra Corretgé
 * SylkServer sends a MWI (RFC 3842) NOTIFY which payload contains Text-Messages instead of Voice-Messages (RFC 3458, sec 6.2).
36 15 Saúl Ibarra Corretgé
 * When the user fetches all messages SylkServer will terminate the session and send a NOTIFY indicating that there are no new offline messages.

 * SylkServer will provide a single URI for all users to fetch messages, the From header URI will be used to select the appropriate user. This assumes SylkServer is deployed behind a SIP proxy, which is a by-design feature of SylkServer.
