[OpenLayers-Dev] HTTP params capitalization

[Tim Schaub]

Case insensitive ESRI WMS:
http://wetlandsfws.usgs.gov/ArcGIS/services/FWS_Wetlands_WMS/MapServer/WMSServer?sTyLeS=&FoRmAt=image%2Fpng&TrAnSpArEnT=true&lAyErS=8&EXCEPTIONS=application%2Fvnd.ogc.se_inimage&vErSiOn=1.1.1&sErViCe=WMS&rEqUeSt=GetMap&sRs=EPSG%3A102113&BbOx=-13901174.252536,2814507.3357644,-3882420.082536,12833261.505764&wIdTh=256&hEiGhT=256

Doesn't mean there aren't broken ones.

I remember something about not duplicating parameters.  This seems to
support that:
https://github.com/openlayers/openlayers/commit/76850371fed848abd139b3c5347fe81981bcef0a

Would make more sense to check in a case-insensitive way and not alter
the case of the user supplied params.
