--- Comment #2 from Mark Thomas <ma...@apache.org> ---
Fixed in trunk for Tomcat 8 onwards. From Tomcat 8, Tomcat will align with
httpd and use a case-insensitive comparison.

There hasn't been much demand for this feature in the current Tomcat releases
so I do not propose to back-port it since:
- changing behaviour for stable releases may cause problems for existing
applications
- making it configurable adds unnecessary complexity

If demand does appear, then this can be back-ported but it would need to be
configurable.
