[BUG] configparser screws up case sensitivity

[MikeSchiessl]

Describe the bug When running ULS with the section specified in UPPERCASE e.g. ULS_SECTION=DEFAULT but specified the section name within the .edgerc lowercase [default], config parser seems to be able to find the section but the config value (e.g. 'host') cannot be found.

ULS will return something weird like this:

ULS D Section 'DEFAULT' found.
ULS C Required configuration value 'host' not found in section / file. Please see: https://github.com/akamai/uls/blob/main/docs/AKAMAI_API_CREDENTIALS.md - Exiting

To Reproduce

bin/uls.py -i etp -f threat -o raw --loglevel debug --edgerc /opt/akamai-uls/my-edge --section DEFAULT
...
ULS D Section 'DEFAULT' found.
ULS C Required configuration value 'host' not found in section / file. Please see: ..... 

bin/uls.py -i etp -f threat -o raw --loglevel debug --edgerc /opt/akamai-uls/my-edge --section default
...
ULS starts running as expected 

bin/uls.py -i etp -f threat -o raw --loglevel debug --edgerc /opt/akamai-uls/my-edge --section DeFauLt
...
ULS C Section 'DeFauLt' not found. Available sections: '['default']'. - Exiting

Additional context
Seems to be a bug inside the configparser module - we will need to dig into this little deeper. As "QuickFix" and for reference, I'll create a FAQ entry and leave this issue as reference.

QuickFix:

Please watch out to specify the section exactly the same way (case sensitivity) as you have specified it in your .edgerc file.

[bitonio]

That seems to follow the original specs: https://docs.python.org/3.10/library/configparser.html#supported-ini-file-structure

By default, section names are case sensitive but keys are not.

[mschiessl]

@bitonio - agreed and actually being case sensitive would be awesome, but then this could not happen at all:

.edgerc

[default]
host=aka-....
...

command

bin/uls.py -i etp -f threat -o raw --loglevel debug --edgerc /opt/akamai-uls/my-edge --section DEFAULT
...
ULS D Section 'DEFAULT' found.
ULS C Required configuration value 'host' not found in section / file. Please see: ..... 

So this is the mismatch that broke my nose today ;)
