Typo in mod_rewrite doc?
Hi there,
the "Special Notes" on variables in the description of RewriteCond contains
the examples %{HTTP:Proxy-Connection} and %{LA-U:REMOTE_USER}. Is this
correct? Doesn't it have to be either %{HTTP:Proxy-Connection} and
%{LA-U:Remote-User}, or %{HTTP:PROXY_CONNECTION} and %{LA-U:REMOTE_USER}? Or
do HTTP Headers and look-ahead-variables really have a different format?
Regards,
Sascha

depends :)
It's normally case insensitive, since it uses apr_tables. There's just one
exception: If you request an environment variable which is not available
within the server structures, but in the inherited system environment. The
fallback getenv() call is case sensitive (at least on *x).

Proxy-Connection is an HTTP header, while REMOTE_USER is an env variable,
so the capitalization is standard and correct. I'm not really sure if
mod_rewrite is case-sensitive in this area or not, however.
