[doc] Better documentation for the Header module

[protz]

Hi,

I've been bitten bit this, but I didn't waste too much time since I suspected what was going on :-).

The header module should probably mention that the header names are lowercase. Servers usually write headers as "Location: ", so that's what I intuitively wrote. Alternatively, the implementation should first lowercase the parameter passed to function such as Header.get.

Cheers,

The header names should be case-insensitive, so this is more than a documentation fix. I'll just force everything field in the header key to be lowercase.
