We have this working URL:

We would like to make the path portion of the URL case insensitive, so
that the following:
http://example.org/bar/
http://example.org/Bar/
http://example.org/bAr/
Would all go back to the original URL. Using mod_rewrite, I tried applying
the following rule:
RewriteRule ^/bar/$ /BAR/ [R=301,L,nocase]
But that creates a redirect loop that the browser barfs on. The browser itself says this:
I sort of see why the loop is happening, but it is my understanding that the L flag would cause it to stop.
L flag is for internal rewriting. With an external redirect, each
request looks completely new to apache. There are lots of ways to
solve this. Here's one:
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/BAR
RewriteRule ^/bar/$ /BAR/ [R=301,L,nocase]
The first line skips the rewrite if the case is already correct.
