Re: [whatwg/xhr] Web compat implications of making getAllResponseHeaders lowercase (#146)

As reporter in the Google Group (thanks for bringing it up here @foolip), I would like to ask a little attention here too.

In our application, we use a literal comparison based on the header field names in the response. After this change in Chrome 60, we're now converting all header field name to lowercase, because other browsers still leave it untouched, in order to make it work. So, after a long fight against Internet Explorer, we're back in a situation where various browsers respond differently to the same functions... I do not think we want to go there!

I agree it's nice to do lowercasing, but as @cpuy notes, as a developer, you would expect the XHR-function to be stable, to prevent applications from breaking down all of a sudden...
