Unfortunately, this mechanism is not well defined when more than one proxy in a request’s path desires such authentication. This draft proposes a mechanism that would allow authentication in that scenario to work as expected. Under this proposal, SIP clients would issue requests with multiple Proxy-Authorization headers, one for each challenge it has seen in the lifetime of a given call leg. Authenticating SIP proxies would search each request for a Proxy- Authorization response to its own challenge, passing any others downstream unaltered.}, }
