Hi all, A (hopefully) quick question. In RFC 9112, section it states that: "If the target URI includes an authority component, then a client MUST send a field value for Host that is identical to that authority component..." Given that host is case insensitive, is the intention that "identical" in the text above means "identical, ignoring differences in case"? I can't think of any reason why this particular check needs to be case sensitive but wanted to check in case I was missing something. Thanks, Mark
