Without doubt, the HTTP RFC states that method is case-sensitive. But then again, the question (at least for me) is whether we want to follow MS on this one ? It might be a good idea to clearly state this (to finish up the thread) as this probably also affects other classes (such as HttpListener). Shouldn't we have Gonzalo's take on this, as he's the maintainer of the HTTP stack ? Either way, I'm ok with it.
