Hello Christopher, First for all, thank you for your answer :)
I understand the standart is case-sensitive URLs, but the truth is that the customer doesn't care about standarts, and that's the case. The application I'm working in is targeted to basic users. They simply won't be careful about the casing of the url. What happened in the organization I'm working when deployed applications with case sensitive URLs in the past, is that tech support received hundreds of telephone calls claming the application simply doesn't work. So users are unhappy and the people of technical support are really unhappy. So, I think the answer to 'why do I need it?' is: because the customer really wants it :) They want it so badly that it could be a blocking issue in the project I'm working in. They could even prescribe a change of technology for that matter :S Thanks again, Christopher 2008/5/22 Christopher Schultz <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- > Hash: SHA1 > > Luis, > > Luis Villa wrote: > | I'm using IIS 6 with Tomcat 6, and I need to use case insensitive urls. > > I'm pretty sure that breaks the URI specification.
