Rails routes case sensitive?

If I have a route

map.connect '/test', :controller => "test", :action => "test

localhost:3000/test (works) localhost:3000/TEST (doesn't work)

How do I get both to work?

Thanks for your help.

I'm definitely having this problem as well. Indeed, basecamp's website has this issue too!

http://basecamphq.com/Tour(doesn’t work)

Are we really the only ones that see this as a problem??

URLs are case-sensitive (except for the host name which is not). If you want to recognize both /test and /TEST, define a new route:

   map.connect '/TEST', :controller => 'test', :action => 'test'

You may think that because some servers do not have case-sensitive file systems and will serve up the same file regardless of case, you should find this behavior everywhere. By design, this is not the case.

Hi

URL is always case sensitive except for the domain names just as Rob rightly said.

But there is a method by which u can make both of them work.....u can define a rewrite rule in .htaccess which will convert all ur urls from capital to small letter

something like s/[A-Z]/[a-z]/g

hope this helps
