Any SP managed headers are collapsed to eliminate hyphens by default before it ever gets there because hyphens introduce security risks depending on an incredibly complex array of API issues.
Avoid IIS at all costs unless no alternative exists. There is no reason to front Tomcat with it, so you're lucky, just dump it.
