DocVariantData - item name uppercase.

Hi there,

I am trying to generate some JSON using DocVariant. I am using the following test app (using Delphi 6 - seems to work fine in Delphi 7):

program test1;

{$APPTYPE CONSOLE}

uses
  SynCommons,
  SysUtils;

var
  LTest : Variant;

begin
  LTest := _ObjFast( [] );
  LTest.prop := 'VALUE';
  DocVariantData( LTest ).AddValue( 'prop2', 'VALUE2' );
  Writeln( LTest );
  Readln;
end.

Previously (I have confirmed by going back to an older version) the following was output:

{"prop":"VALUE","prop2":"VALUE2"}

Using the latest version I get the following:

{"PROP":"VALUE","prop2":"VALUE2"}

Unfortunately the service processing this JSON in case sensitive so I can't send the uppercased version through.

Thanks,
Bernd

Re: DocVariantData - item name uppercase.

Indeed.

I've re-activated our SynCommons.pas fix for Delphi 6 variants.pas unit to circumvent the bug, which is in variants.pas.
In Delphi 6 official Variants.pas unit, you have the following:

LIdent := Uppercase()

in TInvokeableVariantType.DispInvoke(), which breaks our expectations.
