Would that mean that it only applies to stuff being read off the filesystem, like .jsp's and other files? Therefore it wouldn't apply to context paths, servlets, etc?

Thanks!

Looking at code, it seems the casesensitive flag is used when a
ressources is loaded from filesystem (amongst others).
if casesensitive is true, the absolute filename of loaded ressource is
compared to the requested ressource (in filedircontext). If
casesensitive is removed, anything accepted by new file() is returned as
is. I don't know if the casesensistive flag is used by anything else
then file loading.

If it works that way (and I haven't tried it), then I would say that
the caseSensitive="false" flag was not working as I would expect.  I
would expect that things defined for /MYNAME would work for /myname if
caseSensitive was false.

Can anybody tell me definitively how this security risk works?

I suspect a call to /something.JSP will not go thru the jsp engine.
I can also guess that calls the security constraints applied on /servlet
will not apply on /SERVLET

I've seen that notice, but could you explain to me how that works?  I
don't see how this could cause any security issues, except for
slightly reducing the number of attempts you would need in a
brute-force hacking attempt.

 I wan't to know there is any way to set tomcat NOT CASE
SENSITIVE in URL
 I mean: when I write in browser's 'http://localhost/test.html'
equals to 'http://localhost/TEST.htm'.  Can I do it ? or just in
WINDOWS can but Linux/unix can't?

Right, url is case-insensitive under Windows because the file
system

But, the FACT is that under Windows the URL is CASW-SENSITIVE, not
case-insecsitive , why?

I've tried, under Windows, test.html and TEST.html is diffrent in
tomcat server. Is there a parameter to set??



can't tell a difference between test.html and TEST.html. The
difference
is there under Linux/UNIX.
