I've heard of mod_spelling (mod_speling?) for apache ... is that a way
to get urls to be treated without regard to case?

I'd be leary of enforcing case insensitivity on a unix box, but under
some circumstances it might be more convenient. Anyone ever do this?

Side note:
One of my pet peeves is print designers munging urls when they layout a
print ad - unaware that there's a differnce between:

	www.clientsite.dom/promo
and
	WWW.CLIENTSITE.DOM/PROMO

I have added redirects to sites a few times in the past because of
issues like this. And if you were going a radio ad making promo
directories case insensitive would be more convenient than making
multiple redirects and aliases.

Of course, Mac and Windows servers don't care. :-\

Ramblingly,
