The tool and the server do the same thing. Switch the lines in this
authz file:

  [/]
  pm = rw
  PM = r

to give this:

  [/]
  PM = r
  pm = rw

Those two files grant different permissions to usernames pm and PM and
the permissions granted are not "pm=rw" or "PM=r".

The behaviour can be explained but is it correct?
