Simone Tripodi commented on FILEUPLOAD-229: ------------------------------------------- As discussed dev@, about {{ServletFileUpload}}, _RFC-2616 5.1.1 Method_ states that http methods are case-sensitive: {quote} The Method token indicates the method to be performed on the resource identified by the Request-URI. The method is case-sensitive. Method = "OPTIONS" ; Section 9.2 | "GET" ; Section 9.3 | "HEAD" ; Section 9.4 | "POST" ; Section 9.5 | "PUT" ; Section 9.6 | "DELETE" ; Section 9.7 | "TRACE" ; Section 9.8 | "CONNECT" ; Section 9.9 | extension-method extension-method = token {quote} So there is no need for {{equalsIgnoreCase}} or {{toLowerCase}} at all and {{"POST".equals(...)}} should just do it. > toLowerCase() is Locale-dependent; should use toLowerCase(Locale.ENGLISH) > instead > --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: FILEUPLOAD-229 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FILEUPLOAD-229 > Project: Commons FileUpload > Issue Type: Bug > Reporter: Sebb > > toLowerCase() is Locale-dependent - as is toUpperCase(). > For comparisons, can often use equalsIgnoreCase(String) instead. > If an actual lower/upper case is required, then should use a fixed locale > (unless the code is intended to use the default locale, which is quite > unusual for Commons) > A suitable locale is Locale.ENGLISH as that behaves well with ASCII and > ISO-8859-1. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
