WebSocket Sending the server's opening handshake, step 2:

[[
Establish the following information:
host
The host name or IP address of the WebSocket server, as it is to be  
addressed by clients. The host name must be punycode-encoded if necessary.  
If the server can respond to requests to multiple hosts (e.g. in a virtual  
hosting environment), then the value should be derived from the client's  
handshake, specifically from the "Host" field.
]]

This should say that the host is expected to be lowercase for comparison  
purposes with the value of the Host field.
