Its a pretty simple web page, and converting everything to lowercase would be fine. How many people do you know specifiy different file names on a web site by capitalization? Personally, I don't know any. I just wanted to make sure that people can see the site even if they have a problem typing uppercase and lowercase when they think it is proper. Its really just a Directory test but you know some people love to type Test, and that doesn't work. Thanks for the info. I'll scrounge around apache's site a little more.

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 Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?
