[cisco-voip] MRA (Collaboration Edge) Intrusion Protection

Is anyone else having issues with the "HTTP proxy protocol violation"
automated detection feature or Expressway?

I've got over 10,000 hits on this built-in rule and it seems to be blocking
some legitimate logins via Jabber.

It looks like this in the event log:
2015-09-11T21:05:09-04:00 sh[1195]: Event="Intrusion Protection"
Src-ip="X.X.X.X" Detail="Collaboration Edge HTTP Intrusion Protection

Dst-port="52940" UTCTime="2015-09-12 01:05:09,151"

It looks like this in the Jabber log:
2015-09-11 17:09:15,746 INFO  [0x00000dc0]

curl_easy_perform for request #2: CONNECTION_TIMEOUT_ERROR

It looks like this in the detailed expressway logging:
2015-09-11T11:12:06-04:00 atlitexpe1 UTCTime="2015-09-11 15:12:06,146"

Anyone else seeing issues like this?  This particular user also has an 8841
at home.  Is there a limit to number of MRA connections behind a single
public IP?

Thanks,
Brian Meade
