I'll see if I can find out where this happens in url.el.
If not, I'll just file a bug report. IMHO, the package
should either support both versions indiscriminately, or
warn the user if they use the wrong version.
This is not a legitimate complaint. HTTP specifies the
all-upcase spelling explicitly, so url.el DTRT already.
(Nod to pedants: Actually, RFC1945 sez "The method is
case-sensitive." and lists "POST" in the RHS in the
‘Method’ non-terminal production...)
If anything, a bug-report is indicated for the server side:
unrecognized method names should ellicit status code 501
(error; "not implemented").
Even better (as Sean suggests) would be to support and
encourage the use of symbols.
This is a separate issue, but legitimate. Personally, i'd love
to see more symbols and fewer strings-as-symbols, all around.
(Insert rant on languages lacking a "symbol" data type, here.)
