Actually they type it in with all sorts of different letters in the context path either lower case or upper case. All upper case is by far the most common because of the caps lock being on I think.
No it does not solve my problem because it gets caught in a loop. If you type in the upper case one it redirects to the lower case but then IIS doesn't distinguish this from the upper case one and redirects again and again. Thus never getting to the one deployed in JRun bound by context which is the application it should hit. The users can't get to my dev machine because it's not open to the world (it's my development machine) plus it's not a production machine and not available all the time.

Wasn't the issue users typing the url with lc or uc lettering? Otherwise if you want to run on both Win2K and Win2003, can you not uppercase the incoming URL first and then apply redirection? I'm not familiar with IIS, but redirection is standard webserver functionality so you must have some freedom to manipulate the URLs before redirection. -----Original Message----- From: Garner, Shawn [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 10 November 2005 15:28 To: 'Struts Users Mailing List' Subject: RE: [OT] Web application context case I tried this on my development Win2K box and this worked fine. Then I put it on the system test Win2003 Server box and it just caught itself in a redirect loop that you could never get out of. Apparently IIS on Win2003 Server is not case sensitive. Shawn D.

I don't know how you're set up but I think this would be the task of a webserver administrator? -----Original Message----- From: Garner, Shawn [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 10 November 2005 00:35 To: 'Struts Users Mailing List' Subject: RE: [OT] Web application context case It isn't from a link necessarily. Usually it is because somebody typed it in instead of using the link we provided. Usually they have caps on or they somehow capitalize one letter. I'd like to catch the people that are doing this and have them get the right page. Shawn D.

URLs are case sensitive so, short of deploying your web application multiple times, you can't. You'll need to identify where these incorrect requests originate, and fix any broken links.
