Just ran into a problem that brought to my attention that the
Zend_HTTP_Client forces all http header field names to ucfirst(). Since
http headers are case insensitive it is not a big deal, but then I just
wondered ~ why spend processing time on it? If it is a big deal then
the programmer can do it while building the $header array.
It happened while testing the REST API for IBM/Yahoo! Omnifind when I
discovered that they had made the http headers case sensitive. There was
no problem when using PHP Curl and their documentation which had the
header fields as all lower case. But when I rewrote the code using
Zend_HTTP_Client it wouldn't work. I discovered that the headers were
changed when I viewed the packets with Wireshark. Of course this is a
bug in Omnifind and I reported it here.

I guess that it would have taken longer to discover the OYE bug if this
had not happened, but it did make me wonder why this purely aesthetic
choice was in the framework?
No big problem, just food for thought....
Thanks for a great framework!
