             Summary: Rest Authorization Basic http header is case sensitive
                 Key: WFLY-5618
                 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/WFLY-5618
             Project: WildFly
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: REST
    Affects Versions: 9.0.2.Final
         Environment: Wildfly 9.0.1.Final.
            Reporter: Karl Nicholas

            Priority: Minor


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.
