[jira] [Created] (FILEUPLOAD-229) toLowerCase() is Locale-dependent; should use toLowerCase(Locale.ENGLISH) instead

Sebb created FILEUPLOAD-229:
-------------------------------

             Summary: toLowerCase() is Locale-dependent; should use toLowerCase(Locale.ENGLISH) instead
                 Key: FILEUPLOAD-229
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FILEUPLOAD-229
             Project: Commons FileUpload
          Issue Type: Bug
            Reporter: Sebb


toLowerCase() is Locale-dependent - as is toUpperCase().

For comparisons, can often use equalsIgnoreCase(String) instead.

If an actual lower/upper case is required, then should use a fixed locale (unless the code is intended to use the default locale, which is quite unusual for Commons)

A suitable locale is Locale.ENGLISH as that behaves well with ASCII and ISO-8859-1.
