Thanks for the replies, I believe the browser is to blame.  Chrome and
Opera both retrieve the correct cover art with upper or lower case mac
in the request url.  I didn't think to try it last night or before
posting this thread, but I just tried Internet Explorer and it works the
same way as wget - upper case mac gets me a default icon and lower case
mac gets me the correct cover art.

So it the case of Chrome and Opera (shared code?) it looks like the
browser is rewriting the requested url to all lowercase?

Here's a similar question with someone complaining about his server
logging hits to all lower case urls when the correct url is upper or
mixed case:
https://webmasters.stackexchange.com/questions/103189/why-is-my-site-getting-requests-for-urls-converted-to-lowercase

With the answer being blamed on many things, but not the browser.  I
haven't researched it, but if upper or mixed case urls are allowed, the
browser shouldn't be rewriting request urls to lower case.  It may be
bad practice to use urls with upper case characters but the browser
should respect the link or whatever the user types into the url bar.

In this case it looks to me like LMS is operating correctly and it was
Chrome and Opera that derailed me yesterday doing my testing as I didn't
catch the case change between wget and the browser immediately and I
couldn't figure out why wget kept pulling the wrong cover art.  The mac
displayed by ifconfig is all upper case, so that was the easiest thing
to get and paste into the wget url.
