[users@httpd] lowercase to uppercase URL
Hello!
On a Server: Apache/1.3.33 (Unix) Resin/2.1.14
there is this URL:
<server>/DNet/jsp/polopoly.jsp?d=1399
The DNet is case-sensitive.
Is there someway that I can configure Apache so that it will understand
that:
<server>/dnet/jsp/polopoly.jsp?d=1399
<server>/Dnet/jsp/polopoly.jsp?d=1399
<server>/dNet/jsp/polopoly.jsp?d=1399
<server>/DNet/jsp/polopoly.jsp?d=1399
<server>/DNET/jsp/polopoly.jsp?d=1399
...
are all the same.
I have looked a bit on mod_rewrite but I don't really get how I should do
it...
Please help!
// Anders

Well, they aren't all the same, so a better idea would be to help out
your users by redirecting them to the right place. That could be
something like
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/DNet
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/DNet [NC]
RewriteRule ^/[^/]+(.*) /DNet$1 [R]
The first line says to skip requests that are already in the right
case. The second line does a case-insensitive comparison, and
therefore hits all requests that start in any case-variation of /DNet,
the third line redirects these requests to the proper case.
A similar technique could be used without the [R] to deliver the
content directly without changing the URL.
Joshua.
