Hello,

you are right, sorry.
I mixed it up with the Header Field Format (Section 7.3.1, RFC 3261)
The Request Line and the Status Line doens't allow multiple spaces.
Thus Ethereal is right this time and rejects the message, because it is violating the standard. However Ethereal's parser for the Header Fields should be improved to allow multiple spaces and tabs. 
The SIP dissector already contains "TODO" comments for this.

Regards,
Lars

RFC3261 says:
Request-Line   =  Method SP Request-URI SP SIP-Version CRLF

Does this realy allow multiple SP ?
Best regards

If it had said 1*(SP) then it would have been allowed to have more than one space character,
but the ABNF doesn't allow more than one SP in this case what I can see.
