OK - So - this is a bug and needs to be fixed? You would think that an HTTP server as popular as Apache would be able to support case insensitive URLs. For that matter you would think that Linux should support case insensitive file systems. That's one of the areas where Windows is superior to Linux.

I may have to go back to my old trick of using Samba mounts to trick primitive applications like Apache into being case insensitive. As you can see - rolling eyes - that I thing this is very frustrating.

linux? if its that, then you are kinda stuck. I ran a site that used
2.0 and then we got 2.2.12 and the difference between /foo\ and /foo/
and \foo\ was that under Windows, its ...\foo\... and under Linux its
.../foo/... and in freeBSD its ...\foo/ and under NetBSD ../foo\... so
its a battle of the / / \ directory delimiter. i know this is in no
way related to the case-sensitivity, but im getting there.

the module that we used was called mod_serveallcases.c
this would serve the file INDEX.HTML or InDeX.HtMl or INDeX.htmL (or
any variant) even if the file on the server was 'index.html', and that
broke in 2.2 because it used a different serving method. even though
slight, it made a huge difference.

OK - In Apache 2.0 the directories were case insensitive too. Now in 2.2
I'm getting 404 errors. What do I have to do to make the directories not
case sensitive?
