proxy converts headers to lowercase

[philjones88]

Scenario:

Angular2 app uses the Location header returned by our API. When developing using the webpack-dev-server and proxying to the proper server and it's API the header is parsed location but when accesses via the proper server (OWIN Self Host) it's Location and my code breaks due to the casing difference.

Normally it's pretty easy to code around this but I'm using Angular2 header's has('string here') method to check headers and I don't want to muddy my code.

Is there a setting to turn on to stop this conversation to lowercase?

Versions:

"webpack": "1.13.1",
"webpack-dev-server": "1.14.1",

HTTP message header field names are case-insensitive according to the specs:

• https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7230#section-3.2
• https://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/rfc2616-sec4.html

From https://nodejs.org/api/http.html :
HTTP message header keys are lowercased.

What @chimurai said makes sense. This is not a problem in WDS, and it wouldn't make sense to fix this here because of a very specific use-case in Angular.
