Header key 'Authorization' or 'authorization'

[mbohlool]

Throughout the client-python implementation, we consistently used 'authorization' as the header key. urllib3 is also using that, but in some libraries, capital "Authorization" is used. This issue is a placeholder for doing a research on this and make sure we are doing the right thing.

The correct http header is Authorization with a capital A, however most python client libs use them case insensitive (see: requests, or django's test client as examples). Also, they are case insensitive.

My preference is actually Authorization as I frequently replicate data with curl / requests manually, and that is how most apps send it or webservers respond. However, per those two rfcs, neither are wrong per-se.

[mbohlool]

I agree, it should be capital Authorization with case insensitive checks. Will add help needed label so somebody look at this (It could be me if I find the time).
