HTTP basic user authentication : “Authorization” header not accepted (case-sensitive)

I'm using HTTP Header Basic authentication to send username and password to the server:
Code:
List<String> as = new ArrayList<String>();
HttpTransportProperties.Authenticator basicAuth = new HttpTransportProperties.Authenticator();
as.add(Authenticator.BASIC);
basicAuth.setAuthSchemes(as);
basicAuth.setUsername("ABC");
basicAuth.setPassword("password");
basicAuth.setPreemptiveAuthentication(true);
serviceStub._getServiceClient().getOptions().setProperty(
org.apache.axis2.transport.http.HTTPConstants.AUTHENTICATE,
basicAuthenticator);
I'm using Tomcat 6 as a server.
In catalina.log file, I can see the following:
header=authorization=Basic U2hyZXlhczpwYXNzd29yZA==
I'm expecting "authorization" as "Authorization" i.e. Captial 'A' in authorization.
I've checked many existing post but not able to find the answer.
Could you please advice how to achieve above result?
Thanks in advance

HTTP Headers field names, as authorization, are case insensitive
From RFC 2616 - "Hypertext Transfer Protocol -- HTTP/1.1", Section 4.2, "Message Headers":
Each header field consists of a name followed by a colon (":") and the field value. Field names are case-insensitive.
So case shouldn't matter
EDIT Add a newer HTTP/1.1 document for reference

Correct answer, but you are citing a very obsolete spec.

Thanks for your comment. Its good that field names are case case-insensitive. Are there any options if we need to still change these fields?

@user2078308 shouldn't last line usebasicAuth
and notbasicAuthenticator
?

@user7294900 - ya..I already corrected that in my code. Do you know any options to change "authentication" to "Authentication"?
