Tomcat has problem with image files that contain a ".GIF" extension.

           Summary: Tomcat has problem with image files that contain a
                    ".GIF" extension.
           Product: Tomcat 5
           Version: 5.0.19
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Windows NT/2K
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: Other
         Component: Unknown
        AssignedTo: tomcat-dev@jakarta.apache.org
        ReportedBy: merchant@mindbox.com


We have just discovered a "bug" with Tomcat that other servlet engines do not 
have, and therefore it causes Tomcat to look "brittle". This bug would be very 
easy to fix, so I am reporting it to help improve the software.

Tomcat does not display images (icons) when the images located in "jakarta-
tomcat-5.0.19\webapps\<app-name>\images" directory (and it's subdirectories) 
have filename extensions that are capitalized (e.g., "icon.GIF" 
versus "icon.gif"). This only applies to the windows version, since windows 
filenames are not case sensitive.

Other servlet engines, such as Resin, display image files properly regardless 
of the case of the filename extension. This should be an easy fix that will 
bring Tomcat closer to the capabilities of some of the commercial servlet 
engines.

Hope this helps,

BM
