+Everyone's favorite magician, Ruby on Rails, does it again.
+
+As it [Rack modifies incoming requests' headers](https://github.com/rails/rails/blob/aaf7bed00338c3a97dbb12b3c82a30ae34e67876/actionpack/lib/action_dispatch/http/headers.rb#L12) and normalizes they keys. So, every time the client/proxy sends something cool like `A-HEADER`, the key is modified, so some characters become underscore. Therefore in Rails code need to access `A_HEADER`, and if I had known that yesterday, my day would be much more pleasant.
+
+> Also note that when headers are mapped to CGI-like variables by the Rack	 
+>
+> server, both dashes and underscores are converted to underscores.
