>When a case sensitive language has a public facing interface that enforces case sensitivity rules, it becomes a problem between an annoyance and a serious flaw, depending on the situation. Case in point: Unix -based webservers which will not recognize
http://www.northernlightssoftware.com/grantmanager.html to be the same as
http://www.northernlightssoftware.com/Grantmanager.html. Somebody looking for that kind of address would not get there unless it is typed exactly as it is stored in the server.
Exactly. It's a dumb idea there and it's a dumb idea in the source code of the language itself. It causes more problems and has no benefits that I know of.
