[swift-corelibs-dev] SR-6405: URLRequest does not capitalise HTTP methods

[Stephen Celis]

Brandon Williams and I have come across a lot of inconsistencies between Foundations in our Swift web work. We’ve been trying to file bugs when we remember to, but I’m curious if there’s a better way to catch these. Is the Foundation test suite run against both implementations to attempt to catch these kinds of things? If not it would seem like a big win to do so. If so, I suppose we could help by beefing up the test coverage?
