Form field names are traditionally case-sensitive. A server
conforming to customary procedures would not case-fold the names.
But I'm not sure any spec forbids it. RFC1630 seems silent on the
issue.
I would prefer a system that allows case-sensitive form field names,
but I'm not ambitious enough to patch the current system. So I won't
whine. :)
