Description

If an action exists at /Home.action and someone hits /home.action they get an error.

Could WW be made to match URLs in a case insensitive manner?

Argument for:
"Email addresses are not case sensitive... URLs used to be only on linux... never on windows... I believe if someone types in home.action they should not get a 404 because it is bad for business and looks nasty... if it were home2.action I have no issue with a 404... It just shouldn't be a requirement to click a perfectly cased link as not everyone understands the internet like we do"
