Issue:
Implement param ignore_case for recursive_matches_* helpers
Default False
If True, ignore case of path elements.

Hints from issue comments:
@Praveen-kumar-Reddy-Idamakanti: for what type of data type you want ignore Case like list,dict,str etc?
@Praveen-kumar-Reddy-Idamakanti: import re 
#here we will take three arguments
#1.data, 2.pattern(pattern we are searching For), 3.Ignore Case(default to False)
def recursive_Matched(data,pattern,ignore_Case=False):
       matches=[]#for Storing Matched things
       flags=re.IGNORECASE if ignore_case else 0
       complied_Pattern=re.complie(pattern,flags)
if isinstance(data, str):
        # If data is a string, do regex matching
        if compiled_pattern.search(data):
            matches.append(data)
    elif isinstance(data, list):
        # If data is a list, recursively search each element
        for item in data:
            matches.extend(recursive_matches(item, pattern, ignore_case))
    elif isinstance(data, dict):
        # If data is a dictionary, recursively search keys and values
        for key, value in data.items():
            matches.extend(recursive_matches(key, pattern, ignore_case))
            matches.extend(recursive_matches(value, pattern, ignore_case))
return matches 



@muddi900: I can add the solution. But wouldn't it be better to pass this as a kwarg?

we can add 

```python
ignore_case = kwargs.get("ignore_case",False)
```

at the start of the method.

@ngr: I see that we already support kwargs there... Okay. then your solution is okay.

 This should be implemented in:
`components.helpers.recursive_matches_extract`

Don't forget to cover with tests. And make your
 PR not to master, but `0_7_49`
@muddi900: ```diff
:return:    Value from structure extracted by specified path
     """
 
+    ignore_case = kwargs.get("ignore_case", False)
+
+    if ignore_case:
+        key = key.lower()
+
     if any([x in kwargs for x in ['exclude_key', 'exclude_val']]) \
             and not all([x in kwargs for x in ['exclude_key', 'exclude_val']]):
```

Would this be the correct implementation?@ngr: A good start, but not enough.

I would start with writing a custom test with several test payloads, for example:
```
    def test_recursive_matches_extract__ignore_case(self):
        TESTS = [
            ({'Headers': {'Origin': 'foo'}}, 'headers.origin', 'foo'),
            ({'headers': {'oriGIN': 'foo'}}, 'Headers.OrIgiN', 'foo'),
            ...
        ]
        for payload, path, result in TESTS:
            self.assertEqual(recursive_matches_extract(payload, path, ignore_case=True), result)    
```

Note. This is just test idea, didn't check the syntax.@muddi900: The case test can't be on both the source and the search key.

that would require us to modify the payload it self.@ngr: That's exactly what we want!
Not really modify the payload, but in case this parameter is set to True, we make a deepcopy of the payload with keys lowercased just for comparison/exctraction reasons.@ngr: And since you are upgrading this function, would be nice also to support:
`({'Headers': {42: 'foo'}}, 'headers.42', 'foo')`
@muddi900: The [commit](https://github.com/muddi900/sosw/commit/b9e0bdcbbcbe3b5dd4ef4598cf693ada91ff400a) works, however it would really slow every thing if the payload is large.@muddi900: Creating exceptions for non-string keys would require a rewrite of the whole method. I believe that should be a separate issue it self.

it can be done, but the current state the function requires some maintenance. Adding more complexity can make things worse.@ngr: Almost there!!
But the lists/tuples  are failing now.

```
d = {'Headers': [{'foo': 'bar'}]}
recursive_matches_extract(d, 'Headers.foo', ignore_case=True)
...
AttributeError: 'list' object has no attribute 'items'
```

I would add the following to the beginning of your `ignore_case_copy` method:
```
if isinstance(src, (list, tuple)):
    for element in src:
        return [ignore_case_copy(element) for element in src]
```
And probably rename it to `recursive_lower_keys`, cover with a couple of simple tests and register it as a separate helper in `__all__`.

And add more complicated nested test cases please with nesting lists, dicts, etc.@ngr: Sorry. Noticed in your code another problem:
```
        if re.match(r"\d+", key):
            return src.get(key, src.get(int(key)))
```

This is a eventually bad idea.
It works for `'foo.42'` path but will break for `'foo.42.bar'` path.

Let's revert this part, because we want it to be configurable with a different kwargs parameter. And probably in a different PR with different tests.
