capitalization in response headers
I'm using Web Server 6.1sp5 with the passthrough as a very simple reverse proxy. I've got an application that only fails when behind the proxy, and I think it's because it's looking for an all lower case header that the proxy is capitalizing the first letter. I need to 'headername: value' and instead I'm getting 'Headername: value' (I've verfied this by doing a network trace actually).
Is this known behavior at all and is there a way to change it, ie leave the headers alone?
Thanks,
Don

Unfortunately, there's no way to change the case of the header field names sent by the Reverse Proxy Plugin.
(Note that any application that depends on the case of header field names is broken. The HTTP specification dictates that header field names are case insensitive. See RFC 2616 4.2 for the details.)

That's what I was afraid of...is this behavior different (or controllable) in 7.0?

Thanks! I'm actually doing the trouble-shooting and I was looking for that RFC to provide that feedback to the app developers!
