WWWOFFLE performs a one-way hash function on the URL to get the
filename. Given one URL the only way that WWWOFFLE could check if
there is another URL that differs only in uppercase/lowercase changes
it would need to check every URL in the directory belonging to that
host.
Making this type of search would slow down the lookups since it would
need to try every file on the host rather than just going to the
correct one like it does now.
