Headers sent in lower-case:

HTTP/1.1 200 OK

Content-Encoding: gzip
Vary: Accept-Encoding
Connection: close
Content-Type: text/html; charset=windows-1251

Look at "last-modified". I have checked the source, you do lowercase for all setting headers, but you do not make reverse transformation when sending. I offer following code to restore header's name before send:

str_replace(' ', '-', ucwords(str_replace('-', ' ', $header)))

Well, formally it is not a bug. Standard says that HTTP header name is case-insensitive. But "good practice" is to use something like "camel-syntax", when first letter of each word in uppercase and all other letters in lowercase.
