9712	Format of HTTP headers in request.META not clear	Masklinn	nobody	"The [http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/ref/request-response/#django.http.HttpRequest.META documentation for HttpRequest.META] clearly indicates that HTTP headers are stored in it, but it doesn't clearly spell the format: `Content-Length` becomes `CONTENT_LENGTH`, but `Accept-Encoding` becomes `HTTP_ACCEPT_ENCODING`.

It might be useful to specify that (apart from special cases), all HTTP headers get prefixed by `HTTP_` and all `""-""` characters are replaced by `""_""` characters (e.g. `X-Forwarded-For` becomes `HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FROM`).

A basic patch is provided, applies cleanly against branch 1.0.X @rev 9534"		closed	Documentation	1.0		fixed			Unreviewed	1	0	0	0	0	0
