Explicitly they are case-insensitive, see
http://www.iana.org/assignments/character-sets
(second paragraph), which you could interpret as meaning that mod_ruby is
entitled to lowercase it, and that IE is broken.

However, RFC 2616 (section 3.7) says of the rest of the Content-Type header:

   The type, subtype, and parameter attribute names are case-
   insensitive. Parameter values might or might not be case-sensitive,
   depending on the semantics of the parameter name.

So there might be cases other than charset where the parameter value *is*
case sensitive, and therefore IMO mod_ruby should not be blindly lowercasing
the whole line.

Just my opinion...
