Caps within a web address

[JCary]

Hi -

I've noticed that in a web page address some parts of it are case-sensitive. I think it's only parts after the .com, right. For example:

http://www.mysite.com/PageOne/index.html

is NOT the same as

http://www.mysite.com/pageone/index.html

and will result in a 404 error. Is there a way around this, perhaps adding something to my .htaccess file? Or is it just something I have to be aware of?

Thanks.

Domain names aren't case sensitive, but the directory structure that follow it is depending on your server make, I believe.

Apache is case sensitive; I don't think ISS is (I could always be wrong, there--it could be a Windows/Unix thang :-). In Apache, you can't use mod_rewrite to make files case insensitive, which would have been my first thought. But they seem to suggest that you can with mod_speling (sic, ironically ;-). 'Never tried it myself though, and of course, your server has to have it. :-)
