rewriting Website.com to website.com?

Post #1 of 3 (1105 views)

Hi -

I notice on a Lenovo/Android tablet, the default browser capitalizes
the first word in a web site url by default. This causes a default
Cherokee page, i.e., no web page, rather the happy Cherokee w/
directory listings.

Example:

Website.com = default Cherokee web page

website.com = loads site no problem

Has anyone seen this or figured a best workaround on it?

I have a lot of sites. Is there a way to make one change and have this
affect every domain so I dont have to do this for every new virtual
domain?

Thanks big and much! :)

That sounds like a bug to me - The HTTP 1.1 standard states that domain
names are case-insensitive. I tried in Opera and Chrome on my PC and they
both automatically lowercase domain names, but some browsers may not (like
the Android browser, as you mentioned).

I reported it to the bug tracker:

As for a workaround, in the vServer on the "Host Match" tab you could
probably choose to match by regex and then specify a case-insensitive
regular expression version of the host name. I didn't try this though.
