Subject: rack.hijack response header check is case-insensitive?
Date: Wed, 11 May 2016 05:04:51 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20160511050451.GA23544@dcvr.yhbt.net> (raw)

The following snippet in lib/rack/handler/webrick.rb seems
to imply case-insensitivity by downcasing the comparison
to RACK_HIJACK (defined as "rack.hijack" in lib/rack.rb):

        status, headers, body = @app.call(env)
        begin
          res.status = status.to_i
          headers.each { |k, vs|
            next if k.downcase == RACK_HIJACK

            if k.downcase == "set-cookie"
              res.cookies.concat vs.split("\n")
            else

But I don't see SPEC mentioning case-insensitivity regarding
"rack." stuff...

Then a few lines down in the same method, it does this:

          io_lambda = headers[RACK_HIJACK]

But the server handler has no idea if "headers" here is the
case-insensitive Rack::Utils::HeaderHash or not.  Actually,
SPEC does not even require response headers to respond to a
#[] method, only #each.

I'm pretty sure it's not a real problem, since I doubt anybody
would want to capitalize anything starting with "rack.*".
At least I really hope not; one of the reasons I love Ruby
is capitalization is uncommon.  CamelCaseMakesMyEyesBleed :*<
