If the WebTV/MSN TV service for some reason feels that the client should get a new ticket (only observed when linking a Passport account to your WebTV/MSN TV account or enabling Messenger), in any given response the service will inject a Location header to point the client to go to the service URL "wtv-head-waiter:/new-ticket?URL=...", with the "URL" parameter pointing to a target URL the client should go to after successfully obtaining a new ticket. The response from that URL includes a wtv-challenge and it is assumed the WTVP challenge/response method is utilized in this scenario. The wtv-challenge-response is sent in a request to "wtv-head-waiter:/new-ticket-stage-two?URL=...", passing the same "URL" parameter as the one sent with the first "new-ticket" URL. The response includes a new wtv-ticket and a Location header pointing to the URL passed in the query parameters of the previous requests.
