I have been experiencing a problem yesterday. My site is in Hebrew language. MY site is built on Wordpress. The problem is related to escaped encoded posts URL only. IF the post URL has escaped encode in uppercase it works, if in lowercase, it returns 404. I want both to pass without a problem. I am hosting my site on godaddy shared hosting. Is there any option to let both uppercase and lowercase be accepted and show the same post?

For example: http://domain.com/%d7%9e%d7%a6%d7%9c%d7%9e%d7%95%d7%aa/ (this is what my site have)

Google crawled it as: http://domain.com/%D7%9E%D7%a6%D7%9C%D7%9E%D7%95%D7%AA/ (this returned 404)

I think that in the mod_rewrite (htaccess) I should make the URL transfered to wordpress as a non-case sensitive. How can I do that?

Is it possible to make Apache serve files in a case sensitive way? I'm having the issue where an accidental capitalization of a letter is not getting caught in my development environment (Windows/Mac), but is causing havoc on staging (Linux).

Is there a way to configure apache to do this? If I could avoid having to run VMs, that would be good.

I'm not sure what site this question should be on, please feel free to move as necessary. I am working on a project in PHP where I need to differentiate between the folders 'a' and 'A'. When I run the script:

<?php

mkdir('A', 0700);
mkdir('a', 0700);

?>

Only 'A' is created. Is this a mac problem, or is there something in a config file that I can change?

Is there a way to make the file/dir auto-complete in bash case insensitive?

For example I would like to write:
/opt/ibm/whatever/test [TAB]

And bash will auto-complete it to:
/opt/IBM/Whatever/TESTfile

Or at least only the last part of test to TESTfile.

I know that filesystems are case-sensitive, I just don't want to remember which parts are UPPER-case, I want auto-complete to fix the path for me.

And if I have both TESTfile and testfile, just show me both of them like bash does today with auto-complete conflicts.
