Auth Basic interoperation with Zope

Zope Server returns string "basic" in www-authenticate header.
I don't know whether "Basic" is correct or "basic."

CODE:
        if (challenge.toLowerCase().startsWith("basic")) {
            return basic(credentials);
        } else if (challenge.toLowerCase().startsWith("digest")) {
