It is not restricted to that. In the Turkish locale strcasecmp("file", "FILE")
can be != 0 ("can be" as POSIX declares it as undefined. But it has been a real
world issue in curl in the past.)
If we enforce locale to "C" in apachectl, that seems to solve the issue.
However using our own ap_cstr_casecmp in protocol functions seems like a good
idea.
