I also wonder what the purpose of this attribute really is, in fact.
Should this not always be left to "case sensitive = true" ?
Unless you're begging for trouble, or have a really, really sloppy programming
staff.
- but under a case-sensitive filesystem, what would be a good reason to
set it to "false" ?
Extremely lazy users, or non-browser clients that were badly and inconsistently
programmed.
Well, just follow me for a minute.
Suppose we do have a case-sensitive filesystem, and we set this
attribute to false.
The URL is case-sensitive anyway. Or rather, let's say that it is
treated "as is".
Now suppose there exists a file in the (case-sensitive) filesystem
called "ABC.HTML".
And suppose the client asks for "/abc.html".
Now if the attribute is false, does that mean that Tomcat will try all
possible case variations between "abc.html" and "ABC.HTML" before it
gives up ?
And otherwise, what's the point ?
