>Environment:
I think it's for all envs the same because the type is in support/ab.c
>Description:
According to the RFCs the word 'Basic' is the right spelling and not 'basic' in the
auth header.
>How-To-Repeat:
Do an 'ab -v 10 -A user:password url' agains a password protected page (in this case the server was a IIS)
>Fix:
