Do I have this right? Loose_route return FALSE if there is no Route header or if the Route header was a preloaded route, otherwise it returns 1.
check rr module's README. what is important to me is that loose_route() returns true if there is one or more route headers and the topmost one is not for the proxy itself.

You asked the question "if proxy removes automatically the first uri for itself, how do i know that it was removed?". Loose_route will not tell us this. After loose_route the topmost URI will never match the proxy but we do not know if loose_route removed an original topmost URI. Loose_route could be enhanced to give four return codes -- no route header present, pre-loaded URI removed ( no To tag ), in-dialogue URI removed, route header was present but topmost URI did not match.
Anyway, I do not want to turn this into a religous argument. I can certainly put an extra loose_route into the script to catch the pre-loaded case.
The example scripts could be changed to catch this case as well so that an Openser noobie does not have a mysterious looping problem.
