How are you hosting these static files? My guess is that the usual suspects in terms of static file serving in pure node---ie, express static, hapi static and ecstatic, do not have built-in support for this kind of thing (I can confirm this in the case of ecstatic). If you really really need this you might be able to hack it in by adding functionality that somehow does lookups against filename.toLowerCase() versions of whatever you're looking for, but this is likely non-trivial.
Another option, if you're hosting static files with nginx (a good idea for production) is to see if nginx has support for this (my guess is not). Like has already been suggested, symlinks should work on a case-sensitive filesystem such as what you'd see on linux, but will cause a world of hurt on case-insensitive filesystems like with osx. Honestly, the easiest thing for you is to probably decide this behavior isn't crucial and leave it be. Note that this is different from "you don't want this," rather what I'm saying is more, "you probably don't want this *bad enough* to go through the trouble." :) --Josh On Sun, May 31, 2015 at 4:59 PM, Ryan Graham <[email protected]> wrote: > A symlink for this won't work out well if you do development on Mac and/or > Windows, since they default to using case-insensitive/case-folding > filesystems.
