Description Arkadi Shishlov 2015-09-16 10:15:32 UTC 
ab -k doesn't really work against Cowboy-based web servers because AB only checks for "Content-Length:" and "Content-length:" to extract the HTTP header, yet widely used Cowboy Erlang web framework outputs lowercased headers only (by design).

around line 1577.
