[vlc-devel] patch to DASH to fix compatibility with com.sun.net.httpserver

[Robert Forsman]

modules/stream_filter/dash/http/HTTPConnection.cpp was case-sensitive
when checking Content-Length.  RFC 2616 section 4.2 states "Field names
are case-insensitive"

The http server built in to the JDK 1.6 uses a field name of
"Content-length" which reveals an incompatibility of VLC's DASH module.

The following patch fixes that specific header parsing.
