There is rule against a stateless proxy changing the transport for exactly 
this reason. In section 16.1 of RFC 3261 it says  "Requests forwarded 
between different types of transports where the proxy's TU must take an 
active role in ensuring reliable delivery on one of the transports MUST be 
forwarded transaction statefully."
