Hi Keith,
     The "hidden secret" lies in section 18.2 which clarifies :

"...The Authorization header field is used in requests to authenticate
the request originator end-to-end to proxies and the called user agent,
and in responses to authenticate the called user agent or proxies returning
their own failure codes."

Regards,
Subhash.

Subject:  [Sip] Query on Authorization header in bis draft

In table 4, the Authorization header carries rows that apply to it being a
request header and a response header.

In table 3 it is defined only as a request header, and in the
authentication
procedures later in the document and in the references it only seems to
appear in requests.

Is it truly only a request header and table 4 is wrong, or is there some
hidden secret somewhere.
