higress 转发HTTP请求/响应时，如何保持Header大小写

[millinchen]

higress代理的http请求会把http header的key全转成小写？有办法不改变大小写吗？

[CH3CHO]

HTTP header 按规范是不区分大小写的。什么场景下需要强制约定大小写呢？

http header不区分大小写时符合RFC规范的，所以envoy默认转换成小写了，跟HTTP2保持一致。

如果要绕过此问题，可以开启istio api支持，然后下发这个envoyfilter：

apiVersion: networking.istio.io/v1alpha3
kind: EnvoyFilter
