Re: mixed case URL's

["bostonlinuxandunix" <user=37@nabble.blu.org>]

 The server part of the URL is resolved by DNS, which is not 
case sensitive; so that portion can't rely on case. The rest 
of the URL is typically mapped to the filesystem, and may 
or may not be case sensitive depending on the underlying OS. 

It's considered bad practice to rely on case; personally, I 
prefer to stick with the convention of keeping everything in 
lowercase, which makes the underlying filesystem's case 
handling irrelevant.
