[jboss-jira] [JBoss JIRA] (WFLY-5618) HTTP Authentication Basic header is case sensitive

[ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/WFLY-5618?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.... ] Darran Lofthouse updated WFLY-5618: ----------------------------------- Description: I wrote client code to login to a rest service with security-constraint. The client code must use an HTTP header of Authorization: Basic [Base 64 username:password]. If 'Basic' is sent as uppercase 'BASIC' it didn't work, but if sent as 'Basic' then it did work. I don't think the HTTP header fields should be case sensitive. https://tools.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2617.txt was: I wrote client code to login to a rest service with security-constraint.
