I here recently
found out that the path settings in application.ini are case
sensitive.
This naturally
should be the case on Unix systems as it distinguishes on the case in which a
path is created so you can have both /myapp and /MyApp as separate
paths.
But under Windows
this distinction is not made. Both will point to the same path. And IIS will
happily direct all the url:s to the same path regardless of the
case in which the url:s are expressed in. The problem is
that witango will recognize only the correctly written url in respect to case
compared to the application.ini path setting as belonging to the app
and all other versions of the url seem to end up in the
default app scope.
I don't know how big
the relevance in reality is, but my customer at least managed to
cause this error without naturally understanding the reason as IIS is responding
as normal and displaying the site but the settings are all wrong as the app
scope is incorrect.
Does anybody know of
some simple solution like configuring IIS to be case sensitive and
thereby too generating an error or something as in the case with Unix if
you have the wrong case ? Or somehow forcing the case of the url in the
browser.
