Class CIString

java.lang.Object
  HTTPClient.CIString

final class CIString

extends Object

This class' raison d'etre is that I want to use a Hashtable using Strings as keys and I want the lookup be case insensitive, but I also want to be able retrieve the keys with original case (otherwise I could just use toLowerCase() in the get() and put()). Since the class String is final we create a new class that holds the string and overrides the methods hashCode() and equals().
