ctx.response.headers.set() going to lowercase

See original GitHub issue

Hey,

ctx.response.headers.set('Authorization', 'foo-bar')

is returning as authorization: foo-bar

For some reason it seems to be converting the string to lowercase?

I see that two, just because someone posts something on Stack Overflow as an answer doesn’t make it true. I specifically tested against IE11 and had no issue with content-type. I suggest you try it yourself as well.

Hey @kitsonk,

I understand that the RFC (https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7540#section-8.1.2) should be case insensitive, however the issues fall under old embedded browsers which we can’t support.

Content-type: image/png will return text
Content-Type: image/png will return an image
