This is definitely a bug in the ‘back-end’ server (camera); for some reason, they are ending the session when they receive the “OPTIONS” command with a proper “Authorization:” header (even though they already handled authentication properly for the earlier “DESCRIBE” command).

You’ll need to contact the manufacturer of your ‘back-end’ server (camera), asking them to fix this problem (perhaps via a firmware upgrade).
