RE: [Zope] Newbie: Case independent URLs?

[ Toby Dickenson]

Like it or not, windows users are conditioned to expect case insensitivity. Our static site is full of files that mix up .pdf, .PDF, and .Pdf, and we need to use Apaches mod_speling to account for the difference. Ive given up on convincing the content authors that there is anything wrong in this.

I seem to remember IIS work this way by default?

According to the RFC (2396), the scheme part of the URI is to be all lowercase and also should be case insensitive in case uppercase is used anyway. Host names are also supposed to be case-insensitive. Otherwise the RFC does not constrain the case sensitivity-ness. So it would be up to the server. Cheers, Tom P
