1. What does the RFC(s) say?
I suspect this is (one of) the reference:
http://www.w3.org/TR/1999/REC-html401-19991224/interact/forms.html#h-17.13.3...
(I'd expect things like case-sensitivity(?) to be framework decision rather than a protocol / specification decision, though.)
2. How are other frameworks handling it?
CGI.pm is case-sensitive ;)
Without spending a lot more time researching, it would seem like the
correct approach is: 1) case sensitive by default 2) case insensitive by config
Agreed.
I was going to suggest that the "params_lc" option (mentioned earlier) could be a boolean or a CODE ref so that people can do fancy transforms (including locale-dependent ones) if they'd like.
In this case, "params_lc" would be a bad name. What about "params_normalization" or something similar, that can accept either 'uppercase', 'lowercase', or a code reference? Also, some people may want to normalize the params only in some part of the application. Do we want to handle that ?
