Hi maintainers,
I've updated the B3 propagator to use lowercase header names as recommended by the B3 specification.
The problem
The B3 specification states:
When encoding in case-sensitive transports, prefer lowercase keys or the single header encoding which is explicitly lowercase.Currently, Swift uses uppercase format (X-B3-TraceId, X-B3-SpanId, X-B3-Sampled) while several other language implementations (JavaScript, Rust, Python, etc.) already use lowercase.
What I changed
Updated B3 multi-header format to use lowercase:
X-B3-TraceId→x-b3-traceidX-B3-SpanId→x-b3-spanidX-B3-Sampled→x-b3-sampledCompatibility
Reference
Let me know if you need any changes. Thanks!
