+        Header Mapping (CGI/WSGI to HTTP):

+
+        - HTTP_* vars: Strip 'HTTP_' prefix, replace '_' with '-'
+          Example: HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR -> X-FORWARDED-FOR
+          Example: HTTP_ACCEPT_ENCODING -> ACCEPT-ENCODING
+
+        - CONTENT_TYPE: Mapped directly to CONTENT-TYPE header
+          (CGI spec excludes HTTP_ prefix for this header)
+
+        - CONTENT_LENGTH: Mapped directly to CONTENT-LENGTH header
+          (CGI spec excludes HTTP_ prefix for this header)
+
+        Note: The underscore-to-hyphen conversion is lossy. Headers that
+        originally contained underscores (e.g., X_Custom_Header) cannot be
+        distinguished from hyphenated headers (X-Custom-Header) after
+        passing through nginx/uWSGI. This is a CGI/WSGI specification
+        limitation, not specific to this implementation.
