 My guess is that the web app name will need to be treated as case
 sensitive regardless of the Context configuration.

 http://localhost:8080/tomcat-docs/INDEX.html
 http://localhost:8080/tomcat-docs/index.html

 Both of these work for serving static content.

 http://localhost:8080/TOMCAT-DOCS/index.html

 This does not work.


For the record, you are correct.  The caseSensitive option applies only to 
static content (or, rather, anything you can do context.getResource() on). 
It doesn't apply to the Context path, nor to any mapped servlet URIs.

 Subject: Question about caseSensitive - how does it work?

 With the trouble I've been having with getting caseSensitive=false to
 work in my app, I got to wondering if it really does what I think it
 does on Windows XP.

 My interpretation of the doc description is that when
 caseSensitive=:false, I should be able to have a document root and
 context path at (for example) /SiteData, and be able to reach it with
 urls including sitedata, SITEDATA, SiteData, or any other
 combination of upper- and lower-case letters which spell the correct
 word.  Is this interpretation correct?

 If so, then I can go back to figuring out how to actually make it work.

 TIA!
 Dave

I strongly suggest you read the documentation for this attribute
before you go any further.

2006-02-15 Thread David Kerber
I have read it several times, each time more carefully than the last, 
and googled several dozen references, and the way I read that doc and 
everything else, it should work the way I describe. 

But I cannot get it to work and it's driving me nuts!  I'm aware of the 
security implications, but at the moment I don't give a rat's a** about 
them; I just want my context path to be non-case sensitive.
