Does the standard allow ALL-CAPS headers, or is that just a DOS thing? Because it seems like the C standard always specifies lower-case, but I guess DOS compilers (and, maybe, DOS users) can't distinguish between ALL-CAPS and all-lower.


I remember typing the header name and using all caps. But there is no real reason for why I did that.
