HTTP headers are indeed case insensitive by specification. However, I
have worked on commercial projects in the past where the producers or
consumers of HTTP are embedded devices with firmware written in sloppy
C by people that don't really know what the hell they're doing... and
they're tested by hand against Whatever IIS and IE Do, so of course
the firmware works correctly, it's tested!
I'm talking about code that looks like:
if (!strcmp(header, "Content-Type")) { ... }
My guess is that Nick has a similarly horrifying scenario on his hands :)
(The particular device I'm remembering to also had a "SOAP"
implementation which was even more brain damaged. It of course didn't
use an XML parser or generator anywhere).

HTTP Headers are as far as I know case insensitive. so it's a bug in
the older project. I dont think you can force CP into sending
uppercase headers.
