this is probably where the trouble lives. I'm too coffeinized now to see quickly what is
the exaxct problem reason but two things seem strange to me:
- you challenge with a different realm ("engiweb") than you verify ("192...")
- the way how you compose ser actions is not easy to understand ... www_authorize's
  '{' is matched by '}' behind save and before lookup. I guess that if www_authorize
  returns true (credentials are ok) a REGISTER is not saved but looked up, which is
  what you probably do not want to do.
