[reSIProcate] WIKI docs, suggestions, and (sigh) yet another plea for Handler examples.

Are you referring to the PDF document called "userguide.pdf" which opens up
with the big words VOCAL on the first page?   Yes - I read it, observed it's
grossly outdated and old, and I just don't know what is deprecated and what
is still valid...

Then, there is a text file dated January 26. 2004

Using reSIProcate.

I found either from the site,  or somewhere, and it was useful,  it appears
to list a lot of the different "accessing" methods,  which I presume 
would be useful
once one can get an understanding of the overall use (which is not yet 
explained
anywhere).

I read it,  understand MOST of it...  there is NOTHING in that document
that explains anything at all about the Handlers, and a specification of 
what
resip handles vs what WE are responsible for handling.

If none of these documents I described is NOT the one you are talking about,
then I sure would want to know where it is so I can read it.

Again,  I'll re-iterate the big deep questions I have...

on REGISTERING,  X-Lite does the following...
Upon "first time" a 401 error occurs while registering,  X-Lite takes 
this returned
information, and adds this to the message returned.

RECEIVE TIME: 11277225
RECEIVE << xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:5060
SIP/2.0 401 Unauthorized

< other stuff >

WWW-Authenticate: Digest algorithm=MD5, realm="whitephone.com", 
nonce="43151c9242d68c90", opaque="01c3900243d79c92"
Content-Length: 0

Then it re-issues the REGISTER message, but this time adds...

Authorization: Digest 
username="u354",realm="whitephone.com",nonce="43151c9242d68c90",response="e97163ae2810dd4e701938834ed3bc13",uri="sip:whitephone.com",algorithm=MD5,opaque="01c3900243d79c92" 


to the message...

Ok,  my question is this..... Does resip automatically add this 
"Authorization:" field in a 2nd attempt
to register,  or am I supposed to ADD this field to my message before 
re-trying my register,
and in what handler would I want to do this in?

Did I make myself clear here,  or am I such a BAD explainer of things, 
as to totaly confuse everyone.

I had to use X-Lite ( A cheezy SIP phone) to see whats actually 
transpired,  but I have NO clue
what I'M supposed to do,  Vs what the SIP stack does, and the ONLY 
people who can answer
this is the developers.

I can imagine the hundreds of hours of debugging,  trial and error, more 
trial and error I would
have to go through trying to "guess" what resip does,  or assume it does 
something and it
really doesn't or on the OTOH assume I have to do something when resip 
already is
doing it....  you can see the frustration and confusion I have....

Doesn't ANYONE have some simple example code (I won't try and build it), 
I can just
refer to,  so I can be lead down the right path...  and I'm sure other 
users are going
to want to know this as well.
