Win95 OSR2, VC 5.0
>Description:
If you do
            AddAlias /Some/Dir/ c:/Real/Dir/

then a request for http://my.host.dom/Some/Dir will fail; however if you use

            AddAlias /some/dir/ c:/Real/Dir/

the same request works.
>How-To-Repeat:
Make a directory with a name containing a leading uppercase character, then
make an alias to it using the leading uppercase character.
>Fix:
Personally, I'd just document it and not worry about it
