Alexander Harm commented on COUCHDB-1479:
-----------------------------------------
I have version 1.6.1 running on OS X 10.11.2 El Capitan and the issue still
exists. On every launch of CouchDB the WWW-Authenticate is lower-cased to
www-authenticate in the local.ini file and not recognized anymore.
Server: CouchDB/1.6.1 (Erlang OTP/17)
> Futon config UI won't allow "WWW-Authenticate" option to be added (name is
> lowercased)

> Key: COUCHDB-1479
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COUCHDB-1479
> Project: CouchDB
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Futon
> Environment: Mac OS X
> Reporter: Jens Alfke
> Priority: Minor
>
> When using the config UI in futon to add a new option, via the "Add a new
> section..." link at the bottom of the page, the name of the option is
> lowercased when written to the .ini file. (For some reason the case is
> preserved when altering the runtime configuration, though, so the problem
> doesn't manifest itself until the next time the server is restarted.)
> This causes trouble when attempting to enable HTTP basic auth by adding a
> "WWW-Authenticate" option (value "Basic") to the [httpd] section. The actual
> data written to the .ini file is:
> [httpd]
> www-authenticate = Basic
> which is not recognized when the server loads its configuration on restart.
