The change at line 114 in src/security/mod.rs corrects a logic error, the rest is at best a small optimization and at worst a style choice

I'm not sure I understand what issue this solves? Header names should be case-agnostic. And since we're only ever encoding values here, if an error occurs it seems like the issue would be in a parser, not in any of the encoders?

I feel like I'm missing something?

As I understand it, headers are not case agnostic for HTTP/2 connections “However, header field names MUST be converted to lowercase prior to their encoding in HTTP/2” (https://httpwg.org/specs/rfc7540.html#HttpHeaders).

And the documentation for ‘HeaderName::from_lowercase_str’ specifically states that the input is expected to be lowercase
