Proposed Patch - url encoding all upper case

Server NGINX
1

I’d like to propose that URI encoding be done using upper case
characters instead of lower case characters. Both seem to be acceptable;
I’m only requesting this since most of the other libraries that we use
that do URI encoding use upper case characters.

nginx 0.7.6 src/core/ngx_string.c

diff ngx_string.c~ ngx_string.c
1096c1096
< static u_char hex[] = “0123456789abcdef”;

static u_char   hex[] = "0123456789ABCDEF";

The reason that I’m asking for the change in NGINX is that in one
particular application (X-Accel-Redirect to AWS S3), calculation of a
server variable is done on URL encodings done with UPPER CASE
characters.

We supply NON-URL encoded URLs to X-Accel-Redirect - these are
re-encoded by nginx using lower case characters for any hex values, and
consequently the server variable calculation (already done before
X-Accel-Redirect) fails.

Please excuse me for the necroposting, but what’s the decision for the
proposed patch?
My Nginx reverse proxy malfunctions due to this problem.(
Is there any workaround for the problem?
