Stefan Bodewig updated LOG4NET-132:
-----------------------------------
Fix Version/s: 1.2 Maintenance Release
> Environment variables are mistakenly case sensitive on windows
> --------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: LOG4NET-132
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LOG4NET-132
> Project: Log4net
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Core
> Affects Versions: 1.2.10
> Environment: Windows, .Net 3.5
> Reporter: Matthew Gabeler-Lee
> Priority: Minor
> Fix For: 1.2 Maintenance Release
>
>
> On windows, environment variables are meant to be case insensitive. Because
> of this, in some contexts, a special IDictionary class that lowercases all
> the keys is used to manipulate environment variables, specifically
> ProcessStartInfo.EnvironmentVariables.
> The upshot of this, for me, is that when running under the profiler I have,
> all the environment variables get lowercased, and my logging configuration is
> broken, because TEMP is now temp, and log4net is treating the environment
> variables in a case sensitive manner, from using
> Environment.GetEnvironmentVariables(), which creates a normal case sensitive
> Hashtable object.
> It seems that, on windows, the result of
> Environment.GetEnvironmentVariables() should be copied into a
> StringDictionary to get proper case insensitive behavior.
