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; }
