Yes, this not only happens for SymProxy but is an entire issue for all
Windows products: ie, Windows' paths through directories and filenames
are not case-sensitive and unix/linux systems are.

You would run into this problem on any website hosted on non-Windows
servers and you try typing/hacking URL addresses.  You can get a 404
for a page you are certain exists if you don't type it entirely case
correct.

If SymProxy "makes" (I understand this as: changes (?)) URI's to
lowercase, that would definitely be a bug with SymProxy.  I don't
think it should change the case of anything.
