Hi, thank you for reporting. This is not what I would expect, honestly I don't remember having faced this issue when I implemented this. I went quickly through the code and I don't understand the reason for returning 401, since $http_rs is a wrapper around core function get_status which get the result code of a SIP reply (HTTP's ones are treated the same way). I will look deeper in the next few days.
Regards,
Federico

Hi all,
I'm seeing some unexpected behavior from $http_rs when using http_async_query() to send a POST request to an endpoint that requires Basic (username/password) authentication.
When I use:
$http_req(username) = "someuser"; $http_req(password) = "somepass";the request goes through and the server responds with a *201 Created*, as expected. The response body ($http_rb) contains the correct result. However, $http_rs still shows *401 Unauthorized*.
I believe this happens because curl receives a 401 challenge first, then retries with the provided credentials and gets the correct 201. It seems $http_rs is reflecting the status from the initial challenge rather than the final response. This is on Kamailio v6.0.1.
As a workaround, I tried manually setting the *Authorization* header like this:
$var(credentials) = "someuser:somepass"; $http_req(hdr) = "Authorization: Basic " + $(var(credentials){s.encode.base64});In that case, $http_rs correctly shows 201.
Is it expected for $http_rs to stay at 401 in the first scenario? Or should it reflect the final status code after curl completes the full request cycle?
