Description

When matching a URL to an actual physical directory on a file system, for a case insensitive file system various combinations of upper and lower case characters in URL may match to the same actual directory. If using the PythonInterpPerDirective or PythonInterpPerDirectory directives this may result in multiple Python sub interpreter instances being created instead of one for a particular target context. This is because the name of the Python sub interpreter uses the file system path which may contain the user modifiable mixture of upper and lower case letters.
