Changing Case of Variables in Nginx

[Resi Cow]

Have you tried it at all with pcre and rewrite, because I haven't been able
to get that to work.

I don't know enough about c programming, but it seems simple enough to also
provide the variables with maybe a _lowercase appended to them, to receive
them in lowercase. Sort of like $host_lowercase or $uri_lowercase. Would
this be an easy patch to generate?

Best,

John
