Comment:

 I have changed the spelling to use capital X & F in -trunk.

 Footnote:

 PHP's {{{$headers["bla"]}}} is not RFC 2616 compliant, if the index is not
 case-folded, as section 4.2  of RFC2616 quite clearly states:

 {{{
    HTTP header fields, which include general-header (section 4.5),
    request-header (section 5.3), response-header (section 6.2), and
    entity-header (section 7.1) fields, follow the same generic format as
    that given in Section 3.1 of RFC 822 [9]. Each header field consists
    of a name followed by a colon (":") and the field value. Field names
    are case-insensitive. [...]
 }}}

 It could be argued, that "HTTP header fields" should be read to only
 include such headers as RFC2616 defines, such that that "X-Forwarded-For"
 header could have case-sensitive semantics, but that wouldn't make PHP's
 compliance problem any smaller really, as the RFC2616 strings would still
 be handled wrong.

 I wonder how many PHP programs out there you could trick by using all
 lower-case or upper-case HTTP headers.
