Here you go URL's should be case sensitive: w3.org/TR/WD-html40-970708/htmlweb.html "URLs in general are case-sensitive (with the exception of machine names). There may be URLs, or parts of URLs, where case doesn't matter, but identifying these may not be easy. Users should always consider that URLs are case-sensitive. /u" | |
| Jun 18, 2015 at 6:40 | comment | added | Mathijs Segers | Technically URL's are case sensitive, depending on your OS. Most websites are run on a Linux env. you can perfectly fine have an index.html and an Index.html or even an InDeX.html. Also allowing both capital case and lowercase is not good for your SEO which is kinda relevant to UX. What you could do, I did not mention because it feels irrelevant is to make sure it always redirects to either situation. | |
