Question about caseSensitive - how does it work?

With the trouble I've been having with getting caseSensitive="false" to 
work in my app, I got to wondering if it really does what I think it 
does on Windows XP.

My interpretation of the doc description is that when 
caseSensitive=:"false", I should be able to have a document root and 
context path at (for example) "/SiteData", and be able to reach it with 
urls including "sitedata", "SITEDATA", "SiteData", or any other 
combination of upper- and lower-case letters which spell the correct 
word.  Is this interpretation correct?

If so, then I can go back to figuring out how to actually make it work.

TIA!
Dave

I have read it several times, each time more carefully than the last, 
and googled several dozen references, and the way I read that doc and 
everything else, it should work the way I describe. 

But I cannot get it to work and it's driving me nuts!  I'm aware of the 
security implications, but at the moment I don't give a rat's a** about 
them; I just want my context path to be non-case sensitive.

I strongly suggest you read the documentation for this attribute
before you go any further.
