In general you are right. However SUN clearly uses the key name in

only by iteration their code will break.
The solution would appear to be not to use a LinkedHashMap but some new
class, similar to gnu.inet.http.Headers, that implements Map but does
case-insensitive lookups on the keys (returning the header names in
their original case in keySet() etc).
In order for the map to be at all useful, I would have to agree.
However if we mimic Sun's brilliant implementation (as shown by
Wolfgang's testing), we can (and must) just do it the easy way.
