I figured, it's not related to curl but to Rails and Rack only. Here's what I do:
curl -v -H "hello_world: true" localhost:3000/empty Now in the controller I dump the request headers and see "HTTP_HELLO_WORLD"=>"true". Rack converted "hello_world" to "HTTP_HELLO_WORLD". But if I try to access the header like `request.headers[:hello_world]` or `request.headers["hello_world"]`, it will return nil. If I used 'hello-world' instead of 'hello_world' (underscore instead of dash), everything would have worked as expected.
