For note, URI addresses are case-insensitive (the www.google.com part), the path is *NOT* case insensitive, I am guessing you were either using a broken Windows server or something like Apache with url-rewrite or whatever it was called. You should never assume case-insensitivity on a URI path, *ever*. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google App Engine" group.
