WP_REST_Request::canonicalize_header_name()public staticWP 4.4.0

Canonicalizes the header name.

Ensures that header names are always treated the same regardless of source. Header names are always case insensitive.

Note that we treat - (dashes) and _ (underscores) as the same character, as per header parsing rules in both Apache and nginx.

Method of the class: WP_REST_Request{}

No Hooks.

Return

String. Canonicalized name.

Usage
