[Web-SIG] HTTP_CONTENT_TYPE and HTTP_CONTENT_LENGTH

Hi.

The CGI spec says:
"""Servers are not required to create metavariables for all the request 
header fields that they receive. In particular, they MAY decline to make 
available any header fields carrying authentication information, such as 
"Authorization", or which are available to the script via other 
metavariables, such as "Content-Length" and "Content-Type"."""


However wsgiref.validate raises an exception:
AssertionError: Environment should not have the key: HTTP_CONTENT_TYPE 
(use CONTENT_TYPE instead)


Why don't just raise a warning?



Thanks  Manlio Perillo
