>Description:
When delivering the Content-Type header from a script, Apache is converting the text after
after the : to lowercase. This happened in my server push script, where the header
was supposed to be:

Content-Type: multipart/x-mixed-replace;boundary=ThisRandomString

When I upgraded from 1.2.5 to 1.3.0, the script broke. By telneting to the http port on my machine, 
I was able to see the headers returned by the script through apache. When run on the command line, the headers
came out as expected. When run through the webserver, I got the folowing:

Content-Type: multipart/x-mixed-replace;boundary=thisrandomstring

This caused the server push to not be understood by Netscape, since the header said the
boundary text was thisrandomstring, but the actual boundary text was ThisRandomString.

Of course the simple solution was to change the string I used. But this seems to me like
a bug. The case should be maintained.
>How-To-Repeat:
I can send you the program if you like.
>Fix:
Don't change case when outputting headers.
