It is useful feature for a unix filesystem, and enviroments where the
benifit of ease of use is outweighed by a greater namespace. I am not
suggesting case sensitivity is not a useful feature but it is a broken
feature for a webserver. Tim Berners Lee designed http links to be it
case insensitve, it makes it sooo much easier and is a damned good idea in
that particular context.
i dont know why i dont just totally ignore all email from you, even if it
is not deliberate you manage to consistantly piss me off.
could the developers who work on the website and actually care about it
being easy to use please consider this (or tell me what i need to do to
fix it when i have time).
Sincerely
Alan
