Currently, all of the cache-control directives (e.g., max-age) are defined as BNF strings, which means that they're case-insensitive. However, theoretically someone could define a directive without using a string (as we do for some other constructs, e.g., the HTTP version identifier), which means that it'd be case-sensitive. It seems that having such exceptions would be surprising, and that the most straightforward thing to do would be to define CC directive names as case-insensitive. Any thoughts? A quick check of squid2 shows it case-normalising them before comparison. -- Mark Nottingham http://www.mnot.net/
