From RFC 2616, section 14.20:
> Comparison of expectation values is case-insensitive for
> unquoted tokens (including the 100-continue token), and is
> case-sensitive for quoted-string expectation-extensions.

There's a small memory reduction to be had when forking
oodles of processes and the Perl hacker in me still
gets confused into thinking those are arrays...

Now that upstream curl supports this functionality, there's
no reason to duplicate it here as an example.

This change gives applications full control to deny clients
from uploading unwanted message bodies. This also paves the
way for doing things like upload progress notification within
applications in a Rack::Lint-compatible manner.
Since we don't support HTTP keepalive, so we have more freedom
here by being able to close TCP connections and deny clients the
ability to write to us (and thus wasting our bandwidth).
While I could've left this feature off by default indefinitely
for maximum backwards compatibility (for arguably broken
applications), Unicorn is not and has never been about
supporting the lowest common denominator.

This adds support for handling POST/PUT request bodies sent with
chunked transfer encodings ("Transfer-Encoding: chunked").
Attention has been paid to ensure that a client cannot OOM us by
sending an extremely large chunk.
This implementation is pure Ruby as the Ragel-based
implementation in rfuzz didn't offer a streaming interface. It
should be reasonably close to RFC-compliant but please test it
in an attempt to break it.
The more interesting part is the ability to stream data to the
hosted Rack application as it is being transferred to the
server. This can be done regardless if the input is chunked or
not, enabling the streaming of POST/PUT bodies can allow the
hosted Rack application to process input as it receives it. See
examples/echo.ru for an example echo server over HTTP.
Enabling streaming also allows Rack applications to support
upload progress monitoring previously supported by Mongrel
handlers.
Since Rack specifies that the input needs to be rewindable, this
input is written to a temporary file (a la tee(1)) as it is
streamed to the application the first time. Subsequent rewinded
reads will read from the temporary file instead of the socket.
Streaming input to the application is disabled by default since
applications may not necessarily read the entire input body
before returning. Since this is a completely new feature we've
never seen in any Ruby HTTP application server before, we're
taking the safe route by leaving it disabled by default.
Enabling this can only be done globally by changing the
Unicorn HttpRequest::DEFAULTS hash:
Unicorn::HttpRequest::DEFAULTS["unicorn.stream_input"] = true
Similarly, a Rack application can check if streaming input
is enabled by checking the value of the "unicorn.stream_input"
key in the environment hashed passed to it.
All of this code has only been lightly tested and test coverage
is lacking at the moment.
