I've always considered "User-Agent" and "User_Agent" to be the same
header. I've never checked any specs to see if the header should be
done one way or the other. All I know is that there is *NO*
consistency between containers, thus I couldn't ever write
getHeader("User-Agent") and be certain that it will migrate well from
one container to another. In fact, this is exactly the problem that
lead to this solution.
I hadn't read the Servlet spec closely enough to realize getHeader() is
supposed to be case-agnostic, otherwise I would have reported a bug
against the particular containers where it was a problem. (I don't use
them anymore anyway).
