Hiya,

Some UNIX servers will run a Javascript on a 404 error page that will convert your 'cased' URL to lower case, so you don't notice what's happened. The file system on the server _does_ check, which is why they throw errors when the file name requested is different to that on the server.

Try this: http://www.anachreon.com/hispec/main_page.html
And then this: http://www.anachreon.com/hispec/Main_page.html (Notice the upper case 'M').

The second URL will redirect to the homepage as that is what it's been set to do when there's a bad URL 'filename'.

Or: There's something up with loadURL...

Cheers,

Luis.

Hi Luis,
In my case I am pretty sure it is a unix server and I don't have to care about the filename, when entering it in the URL of a browser, but I have to
care with my load URL.
if it is the file system on the server, why can't it do the same check when
I am asking for a load URL?

Hiya,

It's not the browser that checks, it's the file system on the server.
On UNIX based servers this has always been so, on Windows based
servers I think you might get away with not worrying about case
sensitivity (I haven't checked on the Windows side of web serving
lately, so this may have changed).

Cheers,

Luis.
