But 6.2.2.1 says: > The other generic syntax components are assumed to be case-sensitive > unless specifically defined otherwise by the scheme Unfortunately, I think we're generally going to be constrained by the underlying file system, at least for static URLs, unless we're willing to force a particular case scheme on incoming URLs. With a dynamic system like web2py, you've got of course two different interpretations of URL components, one by the framework itself, and the other by the underlying file system. > > That being said, as to the document, this is not required, but it is > suggested for uniformity and ease of access on the web. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "web2py-users" group.
