Description Daniel Wiehl

Basic authentication of webservice providers does not work on tomcat. That is because tomcat converts all the HTTP header names to lower case. According to RFC 2616, this conversion is  eligible as header names are case-insensitive. On Jetty, basic authentication mechanism works fine as header-names are untouched. Because Scout JAX-WS RT handles header-names in a case-sensitive way the authentication fails.

Solution: Fixed 'BasicAuthenticationHandler' to treat header names case-insensitive.
Migration: None
