In some specific cases on our intranet I do have rewrite rules in place specifically for case sensitivity issues where it matters, but as a rule if you're making a ton of decisions based on thinking what people might type for the URL, from that perspective it's not a big deal. Until a malicious cracker decides to pick on you of course ... If it were me, I wouldn't turn off case sensitivity because I think the downside of leaving it on is largely imagined. -- Matthew Woodward [email protected] http://blog.mattwoodward.com identi.ca / Twitter: @mpwoodward Please do not send me proprietary file formats such as Word, PowerPoint, etc. as attachments. http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/no-word-attachments.html -- online documentation: http://openbd.org/manual/ google+ hints/tips: https://plus.google.com/115990347459711259462 http://groups.google.com/group/openbd?hl=en
