SIP CANCEL request never gets 200 Canceling response

Question

I'm sending SIP requests to Twilio SIP Trunk, using Node.js and Kirm/Sip module, I'm trying to cancel the call after receiving '180 Ringing' response.

The problem is that the [CANCEL] SIP request is sent but the server never replies with status '200 Canceling' like it should, instead it replies with a TCP [ACK] and the call remains ringing..

The Cancel request is a copy from the Invite request but changed the Method and CSec Method.

INVITE request:

CANCEL request:

CSeq: 969240 CANCEL
Call-ID: 284466

So any ideas?

Thanks

Your CANCEL looks perfectly valid. Is this the actual message. I assume there is no route header in INVITE. If it is in actual INVITE then copy to CANCEL also. — Sudhansu

When receiving 180 Ringing To-tag should be set. Look for it in 180 Ringing To header. Something like "To: ;tag=9273782374" is expected.

You need to match CANCEL request with INVITE transaction so To tag should be set in CANCEL request.
