But, to the 200 OK (Call answered), the ACK of my client also contains the proxy authorization credentials, which is loose-routed. And now, the is_present_hf("Proxy-Authorization") function returns true (which is correct if the UAC includes the credentials in the ACK), but consume_credentials() returns an error, because it doesn't know that it has verified (and marked) the credentials before.
