the problem is that:

(1) method is defined as a DOMString
(2) step 2 states let method = deflated(method)
(3) but deflated(method) is a 8-bit byte sequence per section 3, not a
DOMString

then also:

(4) step 3 says perform case-insensitive-match(deflated(method),"CONNECT")
(5) but "CONNECT" is a DOMString

as such, the prose is consistently *mixing* operations on two different data
types
