NTLM user name and password case sensitive or not?

Hey

I found this little code snippet in libcurl that decides when to re-use
connections when they are made with NTLM over HTTP and it checks for user
names and passwords in a case insensitive manner.

Is that really correct? To me it feel wrong to consider them to be case
insensitive, but then it struck me that perhaps there is a reason it was made
this way and not just a bug. Or isn't there?
