I'm not positive as to whether this is the server's problem (though it
probably is) or a server extension??? Not sure of higher versions of IIS work???

If you uppercase the 'a' (I did this by creating a non-const char * buffer of
our request in nsHTTPRequest.cpp and editing the memory manually at runtime
before sending the request) in the accept header we're sending it works.

I'm not sure what the right move is here. I'd *hate* to change our lower case
strategy.
I'll fix up the code to camel-case the headers before they are pushed into the
nsHTTPRequest's stream...  I think that this will be the least intrusive...

This way we can still lower-case the header strings before atomizing them...
although it would be least intrusive, I think we might want to camel-case the
atoms themselves..?? It's kind of 6-to-one, half a dozen to the other....
Mass move of all bugs without target milestones to M13.
Bulk move of all Necko (to be deleted component) bugs to new Networking

component.
