-<div class="paragraph"><p>Cowboy tries to follow the standard as much as possible,
-but is not trying to handle every possible special cases.
-Instead Cowboy focuses on the cases reported in the wild,
-on the public Web.</p></div>
-<div class="paragraph"><p>That means clients that ignore the HTTP standard completely
-may fail to understand Cowboy’s responses. There are of

-<div class="paragraph"><p>Cowboy converts all headers it receives to lowercase, and
-similarly sends back headers all in lowercase. Some broken
-HTTP clients have issues with that.</p></div>
-<div class="paragraph"><p>A simple way to solve this is to create an <code>onresponse</code> hook
-that will format the header names with the expected case.</p></div>
