Incompatible default setting for CSRF_HEADER_NAME

Description (last modified by Matías Santurio)

The default setting for CSRF_HEADER_NAME is 'HTTP_X_CSRFTOKEN' which is incompatible with modern web application servers (including django development server), this is because it includes an underscore, which these servers don't allow since it can lead to 'header-spoofing'.

I found this on 4.0 but it's present in 4.1 and dev as well.
