[asterisk-app-dev] Standardization of Case for ARI URIs

[Scott Griepentrog]

I was assuming that we would leave TECH to be case INsensitive, and thus it
wouldn't matter.  We can also then optionally go through and change all
json output to lowercase.

If you want to treat TECH as a case sensitive value, then ALL instances of
IAX and PJSIP and LOCAL etc would have to be changed everywhere in the code
(for any json output anyway) so that you don't have code broken by a
lowercase TECH requirement.  This would also break some EXISTING ari apps,
likely also tests.

What about a transitional period (such as Asterisk 12) where TECH is case
insensitive and the json output of TECH is lowercased, then later (in trunk
& Asterisk 13) the case sensitivity on TECH can be changed?
