Research direction

The issue identifies urllib.request.Request but does not name a source file, test, or expected behavior beyond header casing. Start by locating the Request implementation and its existing tests, then determine the intended case handling from the surrounding behavior and issue history. Done requires a reproducible behavior and a corresponding regression test, but the payload does not define the expected result.
