Curious why Bulletin is UPPERCASING key names? #270

Closed ConnectGrid closed 4 years ago

The RETS specification specifically defines lower-cased response headers for the bulletin:

But PHRETS is determined to UPPERCASE these keys. Shouldn't such a decision be made by the implementor? PHP can easily handle lowercased and hyphened array keys, so it's puzzling why this decision would be made. Any deviation from the spec only makes the job of implementors more difficult.

Seems that XML responses in RETS tend to have uppercased keys, so I suppose this is just a normalization.
