The problem was:
"seems that 2.4 is stripping the HTTP headers, as it doesn't like the underscores in them."

Inspired by prev. topic: https://forums.eveonline.com/default.aspx?g=posts&m=1908990
where no correct answer was given, no solution (except using apache_request_headers() for PHP)
But for other languages (Perl, Python) and apache 2.4 web server you can use mod_headers to change underscores in IGB headers to hyphens. First enable mod_headers (Debian: 
a2enmod headers && systemctl restart apache2
) and then place the following in the root of your site in .htaccess file:


..
# char
<If "%{HTTP:EVE_CHARNAME} != ''">
    RequestHeader set EVE-CHARNAME "expr=%{HTTP:EVE_CHARNAME}"
</If>

...

hope this may be useful for someone

I really think In-game browser should use RFC-compliant headers not using underscores, using only hyphens.

IGB hasnt recieved an update for years and will be removed in (distant) future.
