i'm not quite sure why you insist on case insensitive URLs. case 
sensitive URLs are the standard all over the internet. i on't think i 
have ever seen a site that had case-insensitiva URLs in my life. there 
is no "standard technique" for this because AFAIK no one does this.

is there a reason you would want to invest the extra hassle and 
processing to somehow get case-insensitive URLs?
