contentType comparisons should be case-insensitive

Operating System: Windows XP
Platform: PC

Description

In functions like FileUploadBase.isMultipartContent() the content type
comparison should be case insensitive, ex.

org.apache.commons.fileupload.FileUploadBase: line 121 -

if (contentType.toLowerCase().startsWith(MULTIPART))

to be able to handle html forms that uppercase some attribute/value pairs:

<form method="POST" action="http://127.0.0.1" enctype="MULTIPART/FORM_DATA">

I cant find an RFC that specifies case sensitivity for enctype or or otherwise
but I've come accross web designers/tools that use uppercase.

Fixed in the 10/11/2004 nightly build.

RFC 2045 states that the values are case-insensitive.
