[issue12455] urllib2 forces title() on header names, breaking some requests

Mark,

I'm happy to followup. 
I will be in favor of removing any capitalization and not to change headers whatever they are. Because it doesn't matter per spec. Browsers do not care about the capitalization. And I haven't identified Web Compatibility issues regarding the capitalization.

That said, it seems that Cal msg139512 had an issue, I would love to know which server/API had this behavior to fill a but at http://webcompat.com/

So…

Where do we stand? Feature or removing anything which modifies the capitalization of headers?
