Yet there's a very good counter-argument to this: the same people who don't have any notion of case-sensitivity also don't really have any notion of trying to type out a full URL in hopes of getting the page they want; instead, they click links or use a search engine. Many even type domain names into search engines because they don't understand how the browser address bar works, or even that they have such a thing (for much the same reason, security indicators which appear in the browser's address bar have long been known to be worthless). -- "Bureaucrat Conrad, you are technically correct -- the best kind of correct." --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django developers" group.
