WebServer 6.1 SP4 HTTP Header issue

Is it true that the HTTP headers will be converted to lowercase by the Web Server

I have an app which I am frontending with the Java webserver. The app looks at Http-User header (H and U uppercase)

However when i look at what is coming from Webserver in logs i see the header changed to http-user which causes the app to break

Any one proposes a workaround to SunOne wont change the case of the header

Thanks

I don't understand what your deployment looks like -- I don't know what you mean by "frontending" an app with Web Server or where "in logs" you see the header field names -- but header field names are case-insensitive (RFC 2616 4.2). There are certainly cases where Web Server and stuff that runs on top of Web Server will change the case of header field names.

Your app should treat a header field named "Http-User" exactly the same as one named "http-user".
