Hi,

But as per RFC3261, 12.1.2 mentioned as bellow:
<Quote>
If the request has a Request-URI or a topmost Route header field value with
a SIPS URI, the Contact header field MUST contain a SIPS URI.
</Quote>

Then it's mean that the Caller must support TLS if it want to access a SIPS
resource. (When downstream proxy forward request from Callee side to caller
side, becuase the contact is SIPS, so it have to use TLS.)

So I think what your suggestion of using proxy as a intermediate is not
work. Am I miss something?

Regards,
Lavis

> TLS is hop by hop. If your next hop (outbound) proxy does not require you
to send using TLS, then you can insert a route-header in the request
pointing to that proxy and have a sips request-URI. The proxy then needs to
forward that request using TLS (if there are no other route headers).

sip URI though.
