I’m using httplib and django. When I do the following:

conn.request("PUT", "/udj/users/3/library/songs", headers={"X-Udj-Ticket-Hash" : hash,
   "content-type" : "text/json"}, body='{"blah": 2}')

My server then reports that no header by the name of X-Udj-Ticket-Hash was sent. Instead, it shows that a header by the name of HTTP_X_UDJ_TICKET_HASH was sent. Why is my header name getting modified? Is django doing this, or is the issue on the client side?

    Figured it out, the issue is with django. From the documentation here:

    With the exception of CONTENT_LENGTH and CONTENT_TYPE, as given above, any HTTP headers in the request are converted to META keys by converting all characters to uppercase, replacing any hyphens with underscores and adding an HTTP_ prefix to the name. So, for example, a header called X-Bender would be mapped to the META key HTTP_X_BENDER.

    I really don’t like this. Does anyone know why this is done?
