<!--your preparation HTML code goes here-->

Script Preparation code:

let items = [
  "iowefjoSVVawje",
  0,
  null,
  "iowefjeoSDVawje",
  "iowef34QETjoawje",
  "ioweffjoQWE765432awje",
  "iowefjrYY4eoawje",
  "ioweAfftree23456yuyjoawje",

  "ioweEfj346234oawje",
  "ioweBfj234444oawje",
  "iowefjAo5689999awje",
  "Accept-Language",
  ];

Tests:

case insensitive regex
let regex = /Accept-Language|Cookie/i; for (let i = 0; i < items.length; i++){ let hasMatch = regex.test(items[i]); }
lowercase string comparison
let headerA = 'accept-language'; let headerB = 'cookie'; for (let i = 0; i < items.length; i++){ let lowercase = (items[i] || '').toLowerCase(); let hasMatch =lowercase=== headerA || lowercase === headerB; }
