I'm still confused. I try to write it down in my own words as far as I understand it and hope that somebody will confirm or correct my statements:
So, loose_route does the rewritting of the req-URI (strict routing) and removing of route headers if there are Route: headers in the request. After that, the request should be routable by t_relay.
The loose_route function will rewrite the req-URI of "strict_routing" messages. So the if(uri==myself) statement shouldn't be TRUE anymore, or does this statement checks the original req-URI?
No, it checks the "new" uri, so in the strict router case you are right, it won't match (of course assuming the new uri!= proxy). In the loose router case, the message will be sent to the loose route uri (not to the request uri) and the request uri will not be changed, so your uri==myself could match although the message will be sent elsewhere.
