2970	[patch] HttpResponse should treat headers case-insensitively	Adrian Holovaty	Philippe Raoult	"''(Submitted by Bryan O'Sullivan, who had problems with Trac's spam filter.)''

The HttpResponse implementation uses a normal Python dict to store 
headers.  This makes it necessary to have every component that sets 
headers in a response agree on the exact case to use for every header 
name.  I found this problem while trying to glue a WSGI app into a 
Django app, only to discover that one believes that a header should be 
named ""content-type"", while the other prefers ""Content-Type"".  This 
results in a HTTP response that contains both headers, leading to 
undefined (and currently bad) results on the client side.

Probably the HttpResponse class should use a dict-like object that 
preserves, but ignores, case, so that ""Foo"" and ""fOo"" will map to the 
same item."	defect	closed	HTTP handling		normal	fixed	sprintsept14		Design decision needed	1	0	0	0	0	0
