The previous "last call" was pretty sudden.
One thing that I don't like is
nc-value = 8LHEX
It should be
nc-value = *LHEX
Also in Authentication-Info I think it should be
auth-info = 1#( [nextnonce] | [ message-qop ]
| [ response-auth ] | [ cnonce ]
| [nonce-count] )
instead of
auth-info = 1#(nextnonce | [ message-qop ]
| [ response-auth ] | [ cnonce ]
| [nonce-count] )
with [] around nextnonce indicating that it is optional.
