Ohad R commented on IO-579:
---------------------------
thanks [~garydgregory] for your supoer-quick reply.
In my case, I have an extension (the param) "jpg". On the file-system (windows
in my case), there is a file "something.JPG". Due to the way the method is
implemented now, I have to pass 2 extensions - "jpg" and "JPG", not to mention
all other permutations (jPg, JPg, etc). otherwise, the method isExtension()
returns false, and it is wrong...
I think the right way is to allow (by a param) the caller to decide whether he
wants to check case-sensitive or not.... and it should be very easy fix,
because there is already the method FilenameUtils.equals()....
what do you think?

> FilenameUtils.isExtension() is case-sensitive.
> All 3 implementations of this method call String.equals() rather than
> equalsIgnoreCase(), so it means that if my extension is "jpg", for example,
> and my filename is something.JPG, the method (any of them) will return
> 'false'.
>
> fix suggestion: should use the method
