Description:
------------
Currently a http request method name must only include
-, 0-9 and a-z A-Z. As it is tested against being "-" or HTTP_IS_CTYPE(alnum,.....).

But RPC over HTTP Protocol expects in an Echo Request the Method to be either RPC_IN_DATA or RPC_OUT_DATA which both include "_". This char is always recognized as illegal.

See Echo request description here:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc243982%28v=PROT.10%29.aspx

regards
Thilo

Reproduce code:

 			default:

 					efree(cncl);
