We don't need to raise an error here. See this: https://stackoverflow.com/a/5259004/44080

RFC 7230 explicitly states that field headers should be treated as case insensitive

Regarding duplicate header fields see https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7230#section-3.2.2

CrowdHailer commented 6 years ago

I'm taking https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7540 as my lead. As much as possible I wan't the use of HTTP/1 or HTTP/2 to be transparent. cowboy downcases header names to match the h2 spec now.

OK noted rfc7540
