Technically that means the server you are connecting to is not a WMS as the
spec allows for any casing of the keys (though interestingly not the
values), section 6.8.1. So please raise it as a bug with them about this.
On a more helpful note, yes GeoTools does use uppercase for key values but
it would be a relatively easy thing to change in
org.geotools.data.ows.AbstractRequest.setProperty. So it is worth raising
a FeatureRequest
<http://docs.geoserver.org/stable/en/user/introduction/gettinginvolved.html#suggest-improvements>
or
if this is urgent consider sponsoring the work.
