Case Sensitive URL? WHY?

I received a warning with one of the sitemaps on this site: http://myemohairstyles.com as one of the URLs entered was with capital letters e.g.: http://myemohairstyles.com/Emo-Girls.html which didn't work - returns a 500. However, http://myemohairstyles.com/emo-girls.html works!

Why does this stupid website do this and how could I rectify it?

 

It isn't readily correctable. See HTML isn't case aware. Problem is most web servers run on Linux. And it is case sensitivity. Best fix would be, don't use uppercase. Probably could use mod rewrite but its way too much effort.

 

Ah, that royally sucks - wasn't aware of this problem.

Cheers anyway!

 

Unix/BSD/Linux:

Jon is not equal to jon

Windows based

Jon is equal to Jon

So the rule of thumb is to use all lowercase and do not use spaces instead use _

So:

jon_went_to_the_store.html

%20's in urls are really nasty looking

 

please don't use upper case letter.....That is my simple request. Thank you.
