I've found the stable link to CGI 1.1 spec at
http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-robinson-www-interface-00
Links to spec from the issue looks like broken.
Please, can you describe why we need to convert, say, HTTP_USER_AGENT to
user-agent?
I see in the spec:
Environment variables with names beginning with "HTTP_" contain
header data read from the client, if the protocol used was HTTP.
The HTTP header name is converted to upper case, has all
occurrences of "-" replaced with "_" and has "HTTP_" prepended to
give the environment variable name.
Why we need the reverse varname translation?
