Just for the sake of completeness: Or, it could do what Windows does, basically convert the entire name to lower (or upper) case, i.e., it makes no distinction between, for example, TeSt and test. I think there may be places where this is the appropriate user friendly behavior. > And if there are two files with the same > name (except for upper/lower case), then what would Apache do? If TeSt and test are indeed different files, Apache has a problem, if TeSt, test, TEST, etc. all refer to a file named test, Apache could handle it. Of course, we would have fewer file names available. Randy Kramer
