It will generate a **WWW-Authenticate** header field containing a digest challenge (and not WWW-Authorize header field as written in the manual page). The header field looks like this: WWW-Authenticate: Digest realm="192.168.1.15", nonce="462791f06aa9b37a34fd11b1adc58c5a9df7c95b" This challenge is transmitted in a 401 (Unauthorized) reply. The UA sends its response within the second request attempt, which contains a header field looking as follows: Authorization: Digest username="10", realm="192.168.1.15", algorithm=MD5, uri="sip:192.168.1.15", nonce="462791f06aa9b37a34fd11b1adc58c5a9df7c95b", response="be9e8d46b8dcd522f22301e1f2b3287c" [Emin Gabrielyan, 070424]
