### Description
Some UAC (notably Aastra Phones) use the sips: uri scheme without ;transport=tls when TLS is being used.
I observed kamailio 5.7.6 and most probably also 5.8.4 to insert the sips URI in the wrong Record-Route header causing replies not to reach the destination.
#### Reproduction
Find a UAC which uses the sips URI scheme when configured to use TLS. (AAstra IP Phones for example).
Important: The Registration looks like this, contains no transport attribute but the sips scheme with port 5061 and a path pointing to the SBC.
``` "Contact" : { "Address" : "sips:315996608@157.161.4.237:5061", "CFlags" : 0, "CSeq" : 1446407115, "Call-ID" : "3abf8e6af6391e7b", "Expires" : 56, "Flags" : 0, "Instance" : "urn:uuid:00000000-0000-1000-8000-00085D49FB42", "KA-Roundtrip" : 0, "Keepalive" : 0, "Last-Keepalive" : 1735827284, "Last-Modified" : 1735827284, "Methods" : 16095, "Path" : "sip:157.161.23.249;lr;r2=on,sip:157.161.23.249:5061;transport=tls;lr;r2=on", "Q" : 0.44, "Received" : "[not set]", "Reg-Id" : 0, "Ruid" : "uloc-677695ae-20472d-23", "Server-Id" : 0, "Socket" : "udp:157.161.23.4:5060", "State" : "CS_DIRTY", "Tcpconn-Id" : -1, "User-Agent" : "Aastra 6869i/6.3.0.1020" } ```
Using this set-up:
UAC (TLS) - Kamailio SBC (rtpengine / nat) udp - Kamailio Registrar udp - Core Infrastructure
Call the UAC. Each hop is adding a Record-Route header which is then used by the UAC when creating a new transaction within the dialog.
In this example:
Transaction 1: CORE => UAC: INVITE 100rel supported UAC => CORE: 180 Ringing 100rel required --- Transaction 2: CORE => UAC: PRACK
During the first transaction, Record-Route header are accumulated to indicate the Route set to be taken by the in-dialog PRACK request.
In the INVITE, the UAC is presented with those Record-Route Header:
The first two header are added by the SBC (IP .249) with r2=on to indicate the change from UDP to TLS The third header was added by the Registrar (IP .5) The fourth header was added by the Core (IP .2)

Origin of call takes this Record-Route to create the source Route header for new PRACK transaction:
``` 02.01.2025 15:17:54.393 +01:00: 157.161.10.230:5060 -> 157.161.23.2:5060

```
According to this route set, the call shall be routed from 157.161.23.2 to 157.161.23.5 via 'sips'
This fails as there is no TLS socket bound between those two instances.
`prepare_new_uac(): can't fwd to af 2, proto 3 (no corresponding listening socket)`
IMHO the issue is caused by the wrong URI scheme (sips instead of sip) being used when the registrar is adding it's Record-Route header. (And maybe also by the SBC when adding the double (r2=on) RR to indicate the change of transport. I suspect this happens, because the UAC has registered it's contact with the sips uri scheme.
Repeating the same situation with an UAC which registers a sip:user@domain:5061;transport=tls URI when using TLS demonstrates this works fine. It only happens when an UAC uses the sips URI scheme.
If any more information is required like a SIP trace of the issue, I am glad to provide it.
