Dear all,
assume, that a user tries to register a contact address on a registrar
which requires authentication, but the user is not known by the
registrar. The user sends a REGISTER message (without authentication
credentials) which is answered with a "401 Unauthorized" response. Now
the user sends a second REGISTER request which includes an Authorization
header field. What should be the response of the server to the second
REGISTER request? Should the registrar again reply with a "401
Unauthorized", or should the registrar reject the request with a "404
Not Found"?
Thanks in advance.
Regards
Martin
